What Causes Irritation While On Escitalopram For Depression?
My child has just started taking Escitalopram 10mg for depression. I am noticing after about 3 weeks of taking it that she seems more sad and irritable. The doctor has said that she may feel worse before she feels better and that it takes a good 4 weeks to normally kick in. Is this correct?
