Good evening
cipralex is escitalopram which is a medicine used to treat anxiety and depression. Usually it doesn't have much side effects and it can be prescribed for chronic periods. It's better to get a medical assessment from a qualified medical doctor or a psychiatrist to review the indication and to examine the patient before stopping this medicine

Autism, cerebral palsy, adhd come under one spectrum. They are behavioral disorders. They are not organic disorders (meaning. They cannot be picked up on sonography or any other radiological investigation whatsoever). Behavioral disorders are detected a few months after birth depending upon the developmental milestones. Cipralex comes in category c of fda drugs. Meaning there are not enough studies to come to conclusion. But it is one of the safer drugs in pregnancy.

Dear Abhrajit,
Stalopam plus contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Stop stalopam plus and take stalopam 10 mg for 2-3 weeks. If okay, take stalopam 5 mg for another 2-3 weeks and stop. Remember stopping clonazepam will be more difficult than stopping escitalopram. All the best in your PG

Stalopam plus contains a combination of escitalopram and clonazepam. Escitalopram is used for both depression and anxiety. Clonazepam is is for anxiety and it gives you good sleep. So if you have anxiety definitely you can use stalopam plus and you will get additional good sleep. But its always better to see a psychiatrist and take as it is prescribed.

What stalopam was prescribed for (diagnosis) should be in your prescription. Most probably reason for headache should be stress, but the medication is also a rare possibility (does not occur in most of the persons taking it, and commonly may relieve headache also). Consult your psychiatrist and inform him the issue - a change in medication is probably needed.

Cipralex which contains escitalopram is known to cause decreased libido and delayed ejaculation and at times anorgasmia (absence of orgasm). Yes, psychiatrists do prescribe escitalopram up to 20 mg per day but the benefits and tolerability varies from person to person. In your case you are finding it difficult to tolerate due to side effects, so the best way is to consult a psychiatrist and get it changed to some other medication which doesn't belong to this group i.e ssris (selective serotonin ...more

YOu can stop it as you have done and Stalopam Plus Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Clonazepam and escitalopram which have anxiety-lowering and mood-enhancing effects. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine (BZD) which increases the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses the abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Escitalopram is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) which increases the levels of serotonin, a chemical messenger that improves mood.
