Who qualifies for Lexapro

Lexapro (escitalopram) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) primarily prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of these conditions and assesses your medical history to ensure Lexapro is a safe and appropriate treatment. Key considerations include:

• A confirmed diagnosis of depression or anxiety.
• No history of hypersensitivity to escitalopram or citalopram.
• Absence of certain heart conditions or other severe medical issues that might contraindicate SSRI use.
• No current use of MAO inhibitors or other medications that could lead to dangerous interactions.
• Your age and overall health profile.

The doctor will determine if Lexapro is the right choice for you based on a comprehensive review of your questionnaire.

What Lexapro actually does (and doesn't do)

Lexapro works by increasing the level of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin by nerve cells, it makes more serotonin available, which can improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. It's important to understand that Lexapro is not an instant fix; it typically takes several weeks of consistent use for its full therapeutic effects to become apparent. It helps manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, but it doesn't cure the underlying conditions. The goal is to restore a chemical balance that allows you to experience improved mood, reduced anxiety, and better overall well-being.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Lexapro can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, insomnia, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, and increased sweating. These are usually mild and often diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. However, more serious side effects, though rare, can occur, such as serotonin syndrome (agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate) or an increase in suicidal thoughts, especially in young adults. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your mood worsens, you must contact a doctor immediately. Never stop Lexapro abruptly without medical guidance, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will advise on how to safely discontinue the medication if necessary.
