While you are on this medication, it's crucial that you work on self-help, work towards changing the pattern you think, changing the way you communicate with yourself, so when you are off it, you are able to stand on your own. Listen to motivational speakers on topics of depressions, how to better yourself in life. Talk to your doctor about psychotherapy, go for counseling sessions, meditation, etc.

Lexapro (Escitalopram): What are the Side Effects? Watch Before You Start! Side Effects 0 Views • 24 days ago

Lexapro or Escitalopram is a medication that is used to treat Depression and Anxiety. Get a Doctors perspective and learn the symptoms of depression and anxiety and how this medication can play a role in you treating it. You'll learn about both common and some of the more rare side effects that you should watch out for.

Lexapro (Escitalopram) is in the family of medications called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). They influence the amount of Serotonin that is available to help with mood and other functions of the body.

With depression you tend to have symptoms like difficulty concentrating, remembering things or making decisions. Fatigue, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness or hopelessness. People experience sleeping problems, mood swings, a loss of interest in things that you once enjoyed, appetite changes, generalized pain, persistent sad or empty feelings and even suicidal thoughts or attempts.

Those who are going through anxiety you may have symptoms such as sudden and unexplained onset of a rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, pain in your chest, fear of dying, numbness and tingling throughout your body or just a generalized feeling of anxiousness all the time that you just can’t explain.

If you are experiencing these symptoms you need to seek help from a professional. Go see your doctor and get an accurate diagnosis to figure out a good treatment plan for you. Remember depression and anxiety are real medical conditions and should be treated just as diabetes or high blood pressure need to be treated. You shouldn’t feel any different treating any one of these medical conditions.

We'll give a good overview in the video of the common side effects but its important to remember that most side effects if any are transient and can be minimized by working with your doctor. We will discuss more concerning side effects such as serotonin syndrome as well.

Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses Celexa (citalopram) which is a commonly prescribed SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) frequently used in the treatment of Depression and Anxiety Disorders. Celexa shares many side effects typical of SSRI's and SNRI's, but also carries an increased risk of QTc prolongation (a potentially serious change in one's heart rhythm or EKG), which resulted in its FDA approved maximum dose being lowered from 60 mg daily to 40 mg years ago.
