User Reviews for escitalopram oxalate oral

I am taking this for my Migraine headaches it has stopped my headaches and when I do get one they aren't as bad as before ...

Has definitely got me close to being back to my old self. Very happy to be taking it. if I hadnt taken it, i'd probably have gone crazy by now.

This drug changed my life. After taking it for a week, the sense of gloom and sadness I had struggled with for 7 years started to fade away.

This medication caused me extreme anxiety. I took it for three weeks because everyone said it needed time to work.I felt trapped in my own body and I thought I was loosing my mind. Improvement after a couple of days without it. I think that it is a dangerous drug.

I felt different... almost unreal. I found time going by fast. I even questioned who i was... it was kinda scary. Im better without this horrible offbrand. My depression did not get better either.

this drug should be off the market with its side effects. It is a generic for Lexapro and does not even come close. I fell worse when I take than if I don't take. Its is a bad drug.

was told that I was going to be put on Seroquel,but when I pick up the script it was this escitalopram ; can you tell me if this is close to seroquel

Mr Dr. prescribed this to me for depression and anger. I felt 100% different within 4 days. My anger is gone, depression as well. Increased my dosage from 10 to 20mg after a year. No weight gain or major side effects. This is a wonderful drug. I know 3 other people taking this and all of them are happy with it.

Been on it for 1 week, feel a lot better actually. I am still waking up in a panic for no reason, still have the insane churning in my stomach in the morning but I am able to better prepare for the day ahead now and I feel like my mind is racing a lot less. It is a wonderful feeling to want to actually leave my house. I enjoy the fact that I want to hang out with people and enjoy nature for once. I still get random panic attacks for no reason but I hope Xanax will help with that. Only side effect is a mild migraine-ish headache a few days, constipation maybe? not quite sure hasn't been long enough but one thing for sure is that I am so tired during the day and cant stop yawning. I feel like if I allow myself to fully submerge myself in a yawn, I might fall asleep/pass out Im not sure. But, I will stay tired if it allows me to function in the real world. Im sick of living in fear and this is one step helping me get towards that goal.Read More Read Less

Has relieved my depression and anxiety,restored my appetite.

relieves indications of anxiety / GAD. feel more assertive / self confident.

this medicine is "ok" but i dont believe its helping me as much as it should be and im at 20ml a day. been taking this drug for about 5 months now. I sometimes get a twitching in my eye.. i sometimes dont sleep at all and about a month ago i had a really bad panic attack and afterward i broke down and cryed.. i never cryed like that in my life.. thinking of switching to something different.

I had been taking Lexapro for several years for depression when the this generic version came out. I have used other generics before with no problem, but my switch to escitalopram launched me into a severe depression within 2 days. I cried almost non-stop for five days, when I contacted my doc and switched back to non-generic. Within 2-3 days I was back to where I had been. For me, the difference was overwhelming. I have to pay the extra for name brand in this case.

Tired, dizzy, sweat alot and don't sleep. Lexapro much better.

I hate this medicine! It gave me tingly sensation all over while taking this, it disrupted my sleep, gave me body twitches all over during the night, my moods became worse. Only reason I took it is my stupid Health Insurance won't cover my Lexapro expense! So they pretty much forced me to take this other garbage for a lower price, and they said they'd cover it. I hate my health insurance!! And any other health insurances that don't or won't cover Lexapro. However, the stupid idiots running my health insurance, FINALLY gave me a discount on my Lexapro because I've "tried" the stupid medicine. BAH!! What a waste of time and money. I strongly advise NOT using this Escitalopram garbage. It does more harm than good, no thanks to my stupid Health Insurance for not wanting to cover my Lexapro expenses!!Read More Read Less
