General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, many numbers of cases do not respond to Escitalopram and Xanax, rest of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are suggested for better results. The fewer ones are Sertaline, Fluoxetine or Paroxetine; best recommended for initiation basis and later dose adjustment as per the progress. In my clinic, I do counsel the patient in details with life style modifications to improve at better scale.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
