Lexapro
Lexapro (also known as Escitalopram) is an antidepressant medication that has been approved for the treatment of certain types of depression and anxiety disorders.
It is from a group of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and the medication works by balancing the levels of serotonin in the brain and nerves. Increased levels of serotonin can decrease the symptoms of depression and anxiety, hence its use by patients experiencing these conditions.
The drug is available as an oral tablet or oral liquid solution and is approved for use in adults and children who are 12 years and older.
Lexapro can be made available via an online prescription so you should speak to one of our healthcare providers if you think this drug might be right for you.
The drug can take around 4 to 6 weeks before the full effects are experienced although you may experience positive effects earlier. Such effects can include improved energy levels, decreased nervousness, and positive mental well-being.
What is Lexapro Prescribed For?
Lexapro is prescribed to patients who are experiencing depression and/or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Healthcare professionals may prescribe Lexapro for other conditions if they feel it might be helpful. Such conditions can include:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and migraines.
Lexapro is often prescribed as a short-term treatment as it can help people who are experiencing worry or depression for specific reasons, such as grief after losing a loved one. But for those who experience anxiety or depression for longer periods, perhaps because they have specific disorders, Lexapro can be prescribed for a longer term, perhaps even indefinitely.
How Does Lexapro Work?
After taking Lexapro, your body will metabolize it and change your brain function in a matter of hours. You might even start to experience the physiological effects of the drug immediately.
Like other SSRIs, Lexapro works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. It does this by blocking the reabsorption of serotonins into neurons and this permits more serotonin to be available in the nerve cells that are located in the mood center of the brain. Thanks to this improved connection between brain cells, the user will experience a greater feeling of overall wellness.
What Are The Side Effects of Lexapro?
Common side effects of Lexapro include:
Headaches; nausea, increased sweating, feelings of nervousness, restlessness, dry mouth, diarrhea, fatigue, and insomnia.
These are only short-term effects so they should become less apparent after the first week or two of taking the medication. If these effects persist, you should speak to your doctor.
More serious side effects can include:
Sexual dysfunction; fainting; an irregular heartbeat; changes in vision; and a condition known as serotonin toxicity.
This is not a complete list but if you are worried about the side effects of Lexapro, you should speak to your healthcare provider before you take the medication. You should also speak to them if you become unwell after taking the drugs, be that in the ways we have mentioned or because of another side effect.
