Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Escitalopram is a good antidepressant but the dose range is If there is no response with maximum dose for 6 weeks, medicine are changed. It is necessary to follow with a psychiatrist as a general physician may not be experienced enough in treating depression. The combination drugs like cita plus also have clonazepam which shouldn't be taken regularly for too long. I recommend you see a psychiatrist in your vicinity and go for regular follow ups.
