Escitalopram is an antidepressant from the group called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). It is thought to work by raising the level of serotonin, a brain chemical that helps keep mood balanced. It is a prescription medicine and comes as tablets to swallow, tablets that melt on the tongue (orodispersible tablets) and liquid drops. It does not work straight away: it can take several weeks to feel the full benefit.
- Depression
- Generalised anxiety disorder (constant worry and anxiety)
- Social anxiety disorder (strong fear of social situations)
- Panic disorder, with or without fear of open or crowded places (agoraphobia)
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
Get medical help straight away if
- Get urgent help straight away if you have thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life, or your depression or anxiety gets much worse. This is more likely at the start of treatment, when the dose is changed, and in people under 24.
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing or swallowing. Get urgent help for a rash, hives, fever or joint pain that may be an allergy.
- Get emergency help for a fast or uneven heartbeat, fainting, or fits (seizures). Escitalopram can rarely cause a dangerous heart rhythm problem.
- Get urgent help for fever, a fast heartbeat, very stiff or twitching muscles, shaking, loss of coordination or agitation. These can be signs of serotonin syndrome, which is more likely when escitalopram is taken with some other medicines.
