Hi lybrate-user I can understand how difficult it must me when you are facing such problems. What I think is that this issue of memory loss could be because of preoccupation of your mind with something else. If you are stressed due to something or under too much pressure this could be a reason for that.

Escitalopram is not addictive.
Yoga, meditation and cognitive behavioural therapy are the other ways to treat anxiety and depression. Its upto you whether you can do all these on regular basis or not. Otherwise, there is no short cut, unfortunately. BW.

Hi, as far as your question is concerned there is no contraindication to take these two medicines together. You can take ashwagandha with a escitalopram.

Try this for about 4 weeks. If it doesn’t improve your emotions, seek a second opinion from any astute psychiatrist in person or online. Good luck.

This is a side effect of long term escitalopram use. It’s much more risky to stop or reduce medication as risk of relapse of symptoms is much greater. Try the medicines your psychiatrist is giving you for these or you can go for rtms also.

You are right. These may be the side effects of Escitalopram, but first tell me for what you have been prescribed this medicine; then only i can choose a better alternative for you.

escitalopram is an antidepressant. Amisulpiride on the other hand is an antipsychotic drug. So your comparison is not fair.
