Lexapro (otherwise referred to as Escitalopram, the medicine’s generic name derived from the name of its medicinal component) is a reliable antidepressant drug applied in cases of certain psychological conditions like panic disorder and anxiety.
It is known that the role of serotonin in a person’s mood is foremost, and the state of mind by major part depends upon the level of this chemical found in the human brain; thus the drugs of the class where Lexapro belongs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) produce their effect by well-measured serotonin balancing.
Before you start taking Lexapro you must understand that this drug as well as every other depressant solution can only be used according to the prescription of a qualified medical specialist made particularly for you. You should not give the drug to other persons even if their symptoms are similar to yours. Consult with your doctor should you start developing any of the side effects listed in the patient’s guide.
