how can i stop censpram 5 after 2 years treatment. I can not stop it. ## Hi, Ashraf! How are you? Censpram contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant that's used to treat quite a few medical conditions. Normally these are stopped via a very slow taper, the preferred method right now being to have the patient start skipping doses, such as taking it one day, skipping the next, then after a few weeks of that, they start skipping 2 days and so on. Learn more Censpram details here. However, you should consult your doctor to see what is the safest way for you to stop taking it. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I NEED TO KNOW WHO MADE THE ESCITALOPRAM LOT#30 39120 AND I AM WONDERING IF IT MAY NOT BE UP TO PAR THANKS ## Hi, Kenneth! How are you? Unfortunately, the lot numbers are internal to the manufacturer, so I can't tell you anything about the medication from that information. The only time they are released publicly is if there is a problem and a recall is necessary. What are the markings on the tablets? That is what would enable me to check them for you to see who manufacturers them.

I've been taking Nexito LS for the last three months as per my doctor's prescription. Recently however, I have stopped taking Nexito LS. Is it safe to stop taking it so abruptly? Please advise whether taking Nexito LS long-term is safe for my health? ## Hi, JIshu! How are you doing? Nexito LS contains the active ingredients Escitalopram and Clonazepam, so it combines an antidepressant with a benzodiazepine to treat depression, anxiety and nervous disorders. It has the potential to be habit forming, especially if you take it for a long period of time. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Additionally, if you've been taking it for a long period of time, a sudden withdrawal creates the risk of seizures.

Dear Sir, i am using nexito 20 mg in India whose contents are escitalopram 20 mg (escitalopram oxalate IP) and asked for an alternate in Mauritius and iam suggested to go for Estop 20 mg which is similar. Can i go for the same. Pls advise so that i can discuss this drug with my doctor in India.

I just found a small round pink pill with no imprint on it. Could this be an antidepressant? ## I have to wonder if this person was perhaps seeking information on Escitalopram? It's an SSRi antidepressant, but of course U.S. tablets would have markings. Learn more Escitalopram details here. Looking up Escitol, the only thing I can find on it is that it's an antidepressant that's available in 10mg tablets, so both the name, usage and dosage make sense. Does anyone know more?

found a bag of pills ...they are round, pink. imprint of 10 on one side and an EC on the other side. It is scored with E on one side and the C on the other.. any ideas on what they could be? ## The closest match I could find to your description is a white round pill scored on one side with "EC" imprinted above the score and "10" marked just below it; with an "M" on the opposite side. Manufacturer: Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. This pill has been identified as Escitalopram oxalate 10 mg (base); used in the treatment of anxiety & depression. I know this pill doesn't completely match your description, but perhaps it can at least be of service in narrowing down your options. Has anyone else come across this pill before?
