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.

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?
