Hello. I've been on escitalopram for over a year now. I've forgotten about these medications for the last two days and I'm feeling worse. I also developed the so-called Brain zaps (a feeling of discharge of electricity in the brain and body characteristic of missed doses or discontinuation of antidepressants). More specifically, I take Elicea 10 mg in the morning. Today I also forgot my medication and I feel terrible, I feel like I'm going to die, hence my question: can I take the missed dose now in the evening or wait until morning?

You can take the missed dose of Elicea now and the next dose the next day at the usual time. Do not take two doses on the same day. The same principle also applies to escitalopram dosage.
You can check the availability of these medicines and make a reservation here:
