Escitalopram Health Feed

Asked for male, 31 years old from Ernakulam

How should I switch from escitalopram 20 mg to venlafaxine xr 150 mg? I'm having generalized anxiety disorder and escitalopram is not working anymore.

Get in touch with your psychiatrist. Also for generalised anxiety disorder I would suggest you begin by making some lifestyle changes too. Start relaxation ecercises and mindfulness training activities. Cognitive behavior therapy is also very efficient in treating gad. Get in touch with a psychologist near you or online.

Psychologist•Bangalore

Obsession is a repeating thought pattern that is not concrete; and compulsion is a repeating behavior pattern that is non-productive. As a combination they occupy the individual to the point of stagnating in their state for long durations of time. Sometimes, it can cripple the person from doing normal chores, and sometimes the OCD will place some importance to the frequency of an action to again slow down their function. There is a tendency to attribute some magical thinking to it too. All this ...more

Very good effect of ciprolex except it is a bit costly. But recovery is much faster with good molecule and good quality. Go for it.

Asked for male, 9 years old from Mumbai

I am 40 years old, and have depression since 3 years. I have been taking Cipralex 5mg. Does homeopathy have a 100%remedy for depression? If yes, please guide me. Thank. You.

Simple answer no! homeopathy or for that matter any other form of treatment (ayurveda, unani) does not have 100% cure for depression. Your dose of cipralex is too low! with proper medicine doses & certain lifestyle modifications, you can get better for sure! good luck.

Stop taking All these Medicines of Depression. For your menstrual cycle consult Gynecologist. Take care of your health. Eat well, sleep well, exercise and Do yoga and Pranayam. Still if you feel any problem consult Psychologist Not Psychiatrist.

Asked for Male, 32 years old from Delhi

I am on 10 mg escitalopram for severe anxiety and 150 mg pregabalin. The escitalopram has worked very well on my depression but not on my anxiety. Can the dose of escitalopram be increased to 20 mg? Will that decrease my anxiety or is that only for severe depression? Also if increased to 20 mg, what is the minimum amount of time I have to hold at that dose for?

If you will increase its dose you will definitely get improvement but you need proper treatment for your problem so consult a psychiatrist before changing the dose.

Asked for male, 54 years old from Nainital

I am a physically fit man of 55. Suffering from depression for last 10 years. If any unfavorable situation appears I become aggressive and mostly tensions. Whenever I face unfavorable situation in my family the thoughts of suicide comes on my mind. But taking Feliz s plus for s long when I break the dose the problem increases. Now I am taking Feliz s plus and stressnill each tab. At night. How long should I take this medicine. Should I continue or it should be changed.

Dr. Sarthak Dave89%(576 ratings)

Psychiatrist•Ahmedabad

If you wanna decrease the dose, you should start exercising daily. Like real rigorous physical exercise. The endorphins released out of it will help you feel better and you can eventually decrease the dose.
Although, taking Feliz S plus for years and decades doesn't produce much of problems except Sexual Dysfunctions.
