They are thought to work by their actions on brain chemicals called amines which are involved in controlling mood. Depression is longer lasting or more severe than the "low moods" everyone has from time to time due to the stress of everyday life. It is thought to be caused by a chemical imbalance in parts of the brain. This imbalance affects your whole body and can cause emotional and physical symptoms such as feeling low in spirit, loss of interest in activities, being unable to enjoy life, poor appetite or overeating, disturbed sleep, often waking up early, loss of sex drive, lack of energy and feeling guilty over nothing. Lexapro corrects this chemical imbalance and may help relieve the symptoms of depression. Lexapro may also be used to treat patients who may avoid and/or are fearful of social situations. Lexapro may also be used to treat patients who have excessive anxiety and worry. Lexapro may also be used to treat irrational fears or obsessional behaviour (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves having both obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are unwanted thoughts that occur over and over again. Compulsions are the ongoing need to repeat certain actions as a result Perskaitykite visą dokumentą

Treatment of social anxiety disorder (social phobia). Treatment of generalised anxiety disorder. Treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. 4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Escitalopram is administered as a single daily dose and may be taken with or without food. ADULTS_: _ _MAJOR DEPRESSION _ The recommended dose is 10 mg once daily. Depending on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20 mg daily. Usually 2 - 4 weeks are necessary for antidepressant response, although the onset of therapeutic effect may be seen earlier. The treatment of a single episode of depression requires treatment over the acute and the medium term. After the symptoms resolve during acute treatment, a period of consolidation of the response is required. Therefore, treatment of a depressive episode should be continued for a minimum of 6 months. _SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER _ The recommended dose is 10 mg once daily. Depending on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20 mg daily. Social anxiety disorder is a disease with a chronic course and long-term treatment is therefore warranted to consolidate response and prevent relapse. _GENERALISED ANXIETY DISORDER _ The recommended dose is 10 mg once daily. Depending on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20 mg daily. Generali Perskaitykite visą dokumentą
