  • ok this video is useless

  • When you're in an overcoat and there's a mortar and pestle behind you, you should take the next step to looking like you know what you're talking about by

    PRONOUNCING THE DRUG'S NAME CORRECTLY.

    Jeez, people.

    "Ess-kalla-pram"....?

    You're missing two syllables.

    It's escitalopram (essih-tallow-pram)... silent "c"..

    Thumbs down.

see all

  • I hate this drug. I tapering very slowly to get off this awful drug. It caused more problems the what I had when it was prescribed for me. I feel sorry for people that are presently on it or are going to be on it. SSRI's are horrible and do not cure anything.

  • All These Drugs are Very Very BAD, Go Natural. these DRUGS are worse than your condition is. Beware Of These bad drugs.

  • um....is generic Lexapro available already? Oh, 2012....I see...& it's generic name is es-Ga-lo-pram instead of es-cita-lo-pram??

  • lexapro is uncool ... and destroying meh family XD

  • @tonyvalente Yeah, it's basically like getting off heroin. hat's why you gotta do it very slowly.

  • @BondKatelynBond Hey, ask away :)

    And yes, after about year, it is working. The side effects sucked pretty bad but after about 6 weeks, the body finally got used to the new chemical balance and things started to look up. My anxiety is pretty much non-existent and life is a lot easier now. Shoot me a message if you have any more questions.

  • @SimplyHyde Hey there, just wondering if it worked for your anxiety in the end?

    Im 17, and have been on it for about a year now...

    My experience is that the side effects that came with the drug were the worse part of it.. Did you experience any?

    Sorry to bother you with these questions, im trying to slowly get off it, and just wondering if it worked?

  • I know that is a horrible feeling. But you should not just stop taking this type of medicine. Always ween yourself off of it or else you will have the feelings you described.
