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

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.

Now i'm so anxious I feel I want cry only feeling so depressed I feel that life is so boring and I don't want to any thing, watching tv or scroll in the phone I feel that I only make my family tired and ill because of me I don't want to look at their faces and I don't want to study.

You are taking these medicines under supervision of an expert so there is no such reason to worry. If you feel any of the symptoms you have mentioned above , then tell your doctor immediately so that he can adjust the dosage. People take medicines to manage their physical conditions like diabetes, heart problems etc. The important point is taking medicines under supervision . You can also start Psychotherapy and learn to manage your anxiety symptoms to a great extent.

But it’s a necessary step on the road to treatment and recovery. You should then consult a psychiatrist /...more
