What Escitalopram is

Escitalopram is an SSRI antidepressant. It raises serotonin, a brain chemical that helps steady mood and worry.

What it’s for

Depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It’s also used for other anxiety problems.

How it’s taken

One pill a day, with or without food. It often takes 2 to 6 weeks to feel the full effect.

Good to know

Antidepressants carry a boxed warning: in children and adults under 25 they can raise suicidal thoughts, most often in the first weeks or after a dose change. If thoughts of suicide or self-harm come up, call or text 988 right away, or call 911 if someone is in danger now. Don’t stop it on your own; the prescriber can plan a slow taper. Nausea, tiredness and sexual side effects are common. Taking it with other drugs that raise serotonin (such as triptans, tramadol or St. John’s wort) can cause serotonin syndrome: call 911 for high fever, stiff muscles, confusion or a racing heart.
