Hello both are antidepressants. Rexipra is a SSRI and zyven is a SNRI. Both drug belong to different class of antidepressants and both help in depression. Both are efficacious drug and depending om patient profile they are chosen. For bipolar illness you need a mood stabilizer. Antidepressant can switch you to high phase if you are having bipolar illness. Discuss with your practitioner before starting any medication. You can consult me for any help required.

Hi Sir, You need to consult with your psychiatrist and change your medications either escitalopram (Rexipra/Nexito) or Venlaflexine (Venlor) if there is no response. Also physical factors such as thyroid disorders, vit deficiency, interactions with other meds need to be ruled out, if not already done. Remember, Depressive/anxiety disorders are easily treatable, but medications need to tired and have to be changed if a person doesn't respond to one medicine. Along with medications you need to kee...more

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

Hi doctors team, I have been taking nexito 20 mg (ecslitopram) from nearly 1 year for ocd (harm & repetitive thoughts). Now since I am well versed in mindfulness, meditation yoga, 7 chakra balancing, pulling back, awareness, self compassion, being in the moment. My kundalini energies is way too balanced and I find myself very deep content and peaceful person. Present scenario:- because of escitalopram and heavy dose my digestive system has weaken and nearly from month and two I am getting heavy mouth ulcers. I have tried everything since I am a video person (effects on gut) like taking papaya, non oily food, fibres, warm water, still this issue is persisting of digestion & constipation. I came to the conclusion that its because of lexapro - nexito. Now my question is since I am finding myself very much calm, controlled, stable with 100% fine and easily noticing and letting go thoughts. How should I taper of lexapro since I have read to taper 25% and its half life is also 27 hr?

The mouth ulcers may be due to b-complex deficiency. Please take a multivitamin tablet for atleast 15 days and see if that improves. If you have been maintaining well on nexito for almost 6 months atleast, then you can taper it slowly over every few weeks. Depending on whether your ocd symptoms recur or not you can reduce the dose. However due to the waxing and waning nature of ocd I would advise you to continue on a minimum effective dose. For now you can reduce nexito to 15 mg daily. Continue ...more
