Escitalopram is very similar to citalopram. Both are in the class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class that also includes fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft).

If it truly is an analogous prescription as before, no you're wonderful... yet you may want to favor to e book yet another appointment with the record before the bottle runs out in order that that you do not ever run out of the drugs you want... that could be undesirable - and likewise shop your eye on that pesky expiration date on the bottle because you in no way favor to take expired meds! highly even as it truly is something that regulates mind chemistry... The energetic chemical contained in the drug both will develop into very concentration (too reliable) or breaks down and could develop into weak or ineffective... :) only a delightful FYI - yet you're genuinely wonderful when you're on an analogous med as before / similar prescription...
