Mechanism of Action: Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, which helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate symptoms of depression. It selectively inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, allowing for more serotonin to be available in the synaptic space between neurons.

- Drowsiness or fatigue
- Insomnia
- Dry mouth
- Increased sweating
- Sexual dysfunction (e.g., decreased libido, difficulty achieving orgasm)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
Precautions:
- Not recommended for use in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or in patients with a known hypersensitivity to escitalopram.
- Monitor for serotonin syndrome, especially if used in combination with other serotonergic drugs.
- Use with caution in patients with bipolar disorder, as it may precipitate a manic episode.
- Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor treatment effectiveness and any potential side effects.
- Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
