Escitalopram is a medication used to treat episodes of severe depression, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, social anxiety (social phobia), obsessive-compulsive disorder. Analyzing the description of the problem, it is the right preparation, but it will be possible to assess the effect of the drug only after a few weeks. The first effects of the treatment can be observed after 2-4 weeks (in the case of depressive disorders). Treatment of anxiety disorders takes longer - maximum effectiveness is observed after about 3 months. The first period of treatment is usually quite difficult due to the possibility of intensifying side effects. In this case, you should see a doctor - sometimes it is necessary to implement additional medications that support, for example, calming down/falling asleep. It is also worth considering a consultation with a psychologist and the possibility of implementing psychotherapy.
