As you are improving significantly. Your benzodiazepine dose was stopped and changed to escitalopram only drug to prevent dependence to benzodiazepine. Initial mild sleep disturbances may settle in a week. If not your consultant will review and plan accordingly. This can happen in many patients so donât worry too much.
Good luck.

Hi lybrate-user,
you need to discuss with your psychiatrist to further optimize your classic anti-anxiety or antidepressant drugs (escitalopram dose can be further build up to 20 mg per day and if needed another medicine can be added to augment effect of escitalopram) before tapering off and stopping etizolam.

Hi, thanks for writing in. Welcome to the forum. No, cipralex taken by father will not influence offspring. Depending upon the dose and individual characteristics, sexual performance may be positively or negatively influenced. Ejaculation time may increase, libido might decrease or increase and erection may or may not be affected. Regardless, offspring will not be affected. Take care!

Hello, since you are on treatment for anxiety, escitalopram is one of the best medicine to help you overcome your symptoms. Though it may cause decreased sex drive or/and libido as a side effect, you don't have to worry because it is reversible on stopping or changing the medicine. You should discuss it with your doctor who will definitely change or moderate the medicine depending on the treatment response.

You have to understand that controlling your ocd is far more important to maintain your occupational functioning as compared to the weight gain. I know airlines are strict with...more
