• Discontinuation Syndrome: Abruptly stopping escitalopram can lead to withdrawal symptoms (e.g., dizziness, insomnia, anxiety). It is advisable to taper off the medication under medical supervision.

• Drug Interactions: Escitalopram can interact with other medications, including other antidepressants, certain pain medications, and blood thinners. Always inform the healthcare provider about all medications being taken.
