Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Nexito is Escitalopram which is an anti depressant. Excessive doses of escitalopram can cause agitation and tachycardia, dyskinesia, hypertonia, clonus.
It can also cause sedation and respiratory depression and failure.
