Yes, they are same, but different companies have different efficacy, so better take the one prescribed by your doctor.

Dear lybrate-user,
Sometimes shifting to another antidepressant (from Cipralex to zoloft) works better. Your doctor felt that you may improve further with another antidepressant. Follow her/his instructions and report the result.

Dear Ankita,
You can take Escitalopram on empty stomach or with food or after food, as long as you don't forget to take it. It is better to connect it with food to remember

Now i'm so anxious I feel I want cry only feeling so depressed I feel that life is so boring and I don't want to any thing, watching tv or scroll in the phone I feel that I only make my family tired and ill because of me I don't want to look at their faces and I don't want to study. Right now my sister will star work for the first time this sunday I don't know if feel like this again because of my sister or because the period should come in 2 of december I don't know what is happening and I don't want to live in fear forever but this out of control i'm not feeling good I don't want to be a burden to my family I don't know if I should go to the doctor to change the medicine. I'm going to turn 23 this month.

You are taking these medicines under supervision of an expert so there is no such reason to worry. If you feel any of the symptoms you have mentioned above , then tell your doctor immediately so that he can adjust the dosage. People take medicines to manage their physical conditions like diabetes, heart problems etc. The important point is taking medicines under supervision . You can also start Psychotherapy and learn to manage your anxiety symptoms to a great extent.
