To @Iwona:
Response to treatment is individual. Cycles may stabilize after 2-3 months of treatment.
And does it go away once the drug kicks in? So there is nothing to worry about if your period is delayed at the beginning of taking medication?

Yes. Escitalopram is an antidepressant that belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs are widely used to treat depression and other mental disorders. In some cases, the use of escitalopram can lead to changes in the menstrual cycle in some women. Some possible side effects associated with escitalopram include changes in the menstrual cycle, such as menstrual irregularity, delays or amenorrhea. There is therefore a risk that the delay in the period is due to the use of the medicine.
