Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history.
Cipralex contains escitalopram which is potent antidepressant drug. It may be possible that while initiating this drug, one may have symptoms like gastric upset and burning sensation over head or body. These symptoms usually wean of within some days.
If it persist or if it is causing severe problems, You should consult your psychiatrist. Doctor may reduce the dose or may change to other drug.
Thanks.
