GENERIC NAME: escitalopram

BRAND NAME: Lexapro

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Escitalopram is an oral drug that is used for treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Chemically, escitalopram is similar to citalopram (Celexa). Both are in the class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class that also includes fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIs work by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, the chemical messengers that nerves use to communicate with one another. Neurotransmitters are made and released by nerves and then travel to other nearby nerves where they attach to receptors on the nerves. Some neurotransmitters that are released do not bind to receptors and are taken up by the nerves that produced them. This is referred to as “reuptake.” Many experts believe that an imbalance of neurotransmitters is the cause of depression. Escitalopram prevents the reuptake of one neurotransmitter, serotonin, by nerves, an action which results in more serotonin in the brain to attach to receptors. The FDA approved escitalopram in August 2002.

PRESCRIPTION: Yes

GENERIC AVAILABLE: No

PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 5, 10, and 20 mg. Solution: 1 mg/ml

STORAGE: Escitalopram should be stored at room temperature, 15-30 C (59-86 F)

PRESCRIBED FOR: Escitalopram is approved for the treatment of depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Drugs in the SSRI class also have been studied in persons with obsessive compulsive disorders and panic disorders, but escitalopram is not approved for this purpose.

DOSING: The usual starting dose of escitalopram is 10 mg once daily in the morning or evening. The dose may be increased to 20 mg once daily after 1 week. Benefit may not be seen until treatment has been given for up to 4 weeks. A daily dose of 20 mg may not be anymore effective than 10 mg daily for treatment of depression. Escitalopram can be taken with or without food.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: All SSRIs, including escitalopram, should not be combined with drugs in the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor class of antidepressants such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), selegiline (Eldepryl) and procarbazine (Matulane). Such combinations may lead to confusion, high blood pressure, high fevers, tremor or muscle rigidity, and increased activity. At least 14 days should elapse after discontinuing escitalopram before starting an MAO inhibitor. Conversely, at least 14 days should elapse after discontinuing an MAO inhibitor before starting escitalopram.

Tryptophan can cause headaches, nausea, sweating, and dizziness when taken with any SSRI.

Use of selective serotonin inhibitors may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients taking aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and other drugs that cause bleeding.

PREGNANCY: The safety of escitalopram during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. Therefore, escitalopram should not be used during pregnancy unless, in the opinion of the physician, the expected benefits to the patient outweigh unknown hazards to the fetus.

Lindsey H asked:


I was on Lexapro, but had to stop taking it due to pain issues where I had to start taking tramadol. Was advised not to take these two together because of the risk of seizures. Now, I am severely depressed and I want to get back on SSRI’s right away. Does anybody know how long I must wait once I stop taking the tramadol?
