Dear Lybrate user,

ESCITALOPRAM OXALATE decreases sexual functions. So unless you stop taking escitalopram your problem of premature ejaculation will not be cured even if you take medicnes for escitalopram.

It does not belong to addiction category if medicine. Rather your depression or is chronic and needs continuous treatment. Govt periodically bans combination medications, you can get the components of escitalopram and flupenthixol separately, after psychiatrist evaluation. Good luck.

Only the SSRI group of antidepressants cause sexual problems in few patients. These side effects are temporary. Escitalopram is an SSRI.
There are plenty of effective antidepressant that has no sexual side effect. Please discuss with your psychiatrist.

Dear lybrate-user,
rexipra 10 mg is escitalopram 10 mg. It is available. The same medicine in different brand names are also available freely in the market. But it is better to consult your psychiatrist regularly and adjust the dose or to stop it. It may not be a tablet for your whole life.

Dear lybrate-user, Rexipra which is escitalopram can cause sexual dysfunction, so can depression - anxiety/stress. Bupropion is an antidepressant which doesn't cause any sexual dysfunctions.

Controlling anxiety and stress through these techn...more

I'm on medication currently for anxiety and depression i'm taking etilaam 0.25 and depranex-10 along with richer cr for iron deficiency. I want to know that someday i'm fully ok and sometimes I don't know why I feel anxious like if I go outside after taking etilaam then a falling or sinking type of sensation happens suddenly and after the medication gets completely mixed into my bloodstream I start to feel calm. Couldn't getting it thoroughly why is it happening so also because my whole body blood report tests are also totally normal beside iron and vitamin d deficiency. I've also spoke to my psychiatrist about this she told me to relax .and also advised to cut down slowly my etilaam pills by reducing 25% after 10 days. But then also this sudden bad feeling bothers me .is it normal doctors and how long it'd take me to get fully recovered from it.

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. It's happening because your anxiety and depression is not yet completely remitted. Whole body blood reports have to be normal before calling it anxiety disorder. Vitamin d has to be ta...more

1. Discuss the dose related issue with your psychiatrist. A change of drug or adequate dosing for adequate duration can solve the issue.
2. Psychotherapy in form of cbt might help you to overcome behav...more

Seems like you have anxiety/ depressive symptoms for which these medicines are prescribed. Rexipra10 mg and zolax sr could be taken in the night.
Rejunex plus can be taken in the afternoon.
