Lexapro.

Lexapro (escitalopram) can be prescribed for patients diagnosed with depression and anxiety that need to keep their symptoms under control. This medicine is intended for patients of at least 12 years old and is not supposed to be used for younger patients because there is a possibility of them developing some dangerous health effects. You must not take Lexapro along with any monoamine oxidase inhibitors, as a sudden and severe reaction may occur as a result of that. At least 14 days are supposed to pass from the moment you took a MAO inhibitor last. If you develop any mood changes or other symptoms of the kind – make sure you call your health care provider as soon as possible. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have ever been diagnosed with, as this may be important in determining your dose. The following conditions are supposed to be mentioned: suicidal thoughts, a history of drug abuse, kidney or liver disease, bipolar disorder, and seizures. If you happened to take too much of Lexapro and get symptoms such as confusion, rapid heartbeat, seizures, vomiting, coma, dizziness, nausea, and sweating, seek emergency medical help. Always take Lexapro exactly as prescribed.
