Who qualifies for Lexapro (Escitalopram)

Lexapro (escitalopram) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat depression and generalised anxiety disorder. When reviewing your case, a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician will assess your medical history, current symptoms, and any other medications you are taking to determine if Lexapro is appropriate. They look for a clear diagnosis of depression or anxiety and ensure there are no contraindications such as certain heart conditions, concomitant use of MAO inhibitors, or known allergies to escitalopram.

What Lexapro actually does (and doesn't do)

Lexapro works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in your brain that helps maintain mental balance. By blocking the reabsorption of serotonin, it allows more of it to be available, which can improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. It doesn't provide an immediate 'fix'; typically, it takes 2-4 weeks to notice initial improvements, and the full therapeutic effect may take 6-8 weeks. Lexapro helps manage symptoms but does not cure the underlying condition. Consistent use as prescribed is key for optimal results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Lexapro can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, drowsiness, increased sweating, and dry mouth. These often lessen as your body adjusts. However, serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), serotonin syndrome (confusion, agitation, muscle stiffness), or unusual changes in mood or behaviour. Always discuss any concerning side effects with your doctor. Do not stop taking Lexapro abruptly without medical advice, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.
