Yes, it is safe to take 2.5 mg of escitalopram. We however recommend that you consult a psychiatrist every 3 months to find out what is the best medication strategy for you. We welcome any questions you have online regarding the same.

Surprising the doctor changed from stalopam to rivotril, stalopam is better medicine and can be taken for a longer time, as you rightly told it has to be taken for few months, consult an astute psychiatrist. All the best.
