Hello
amit (amitriptyline) is a different class of drug (tricyclic antidepressant) compared to espiram (escitalopram is a ssri antidepressant). So esipram is not a direct replacement for it and it is not recommended to take one for another.
Please checks with your prescribing doctor as well.

The counselor could be right for some reasons and your wife could be right for other reasons. The timing of the problem your son manifests is very significant and something has to be done. The reason I say this is that he is in his late teens and this is the last time his issues will come up looking for a resolution goaded by hormonal imbalances, particularly testosterone. If you do not take care of it now, he will have permanent negative features and those will grow over time and will become se...more
