Can I feel worse after 1.5 weeks of using Depralin?

Yes, the use of Depraline (escitalopram) to treat depression may be associated with a decrease in well-being, especially in the initial phases of therapy. Many people experience an increase in depressive symptoms or new symptoms within the first few weeks of using this medication.

It is important to be in contact with your doctor and report any worrying symptoms. Your doctor may decide to monitor your health, adjust your dose, or consider other treatment options. It is also worth remembering that the full therapeutic effects may appear after a few weeks of using the drug.
