Hello. Can I drink lemon balm or valerian during the day while taking panic attack medicine with escilipram? I would like to add that I am at the beginning of the treatment (the first week) and there is no improvement so far, and she did not ask the psychiatrist about it because I forgot.

Yes, you can take a plant-based sedative as an adjunct. Escitalopram is a preparation whose effect is observed after 2-4 weeks from the start of treatment, while the maximum effectiveness in the treatment of anxiety disorders is observed after 3 months. If panic attacks prevent you from functioning on a daily basis, it is worth seeing a psychiatrist and considering the implementation of additional supportive preparations.
On our website you can check the availability of the medicine and make a reservation at the pharmacy:
