Common Questions and Answers about Escitalopram brand names

Avatar f tn But generally, some believe that quality control is much better with brand names than with generics, and others experience better results with brand names. I'd try the generic and see if it works for you -- insurance companies are really punishing you now if you use brand names so it makes sense to give the generic a try.
Avatar f tn None of us will usually know if the brand name works better if we take older drugs because the docs usually just put us on the cheaper ones and insurance companies make it a lot more expensive to use brand names, but consensus on this site over the years has been that brand name drugs work better. Another problem is that generics manufacturers are not consistent, while brand name manufacturers usually are -- but only usually, as any observer of the Tylenol saga can attest to.
Avatar n tn Three months ago, my pharmacy switched me to Escitalopram without my knowledge. I am more depresssed, my sleeping is worse and I am subject to more panic attackes than ever. Is it my body reacting to the change in drugs?
Avatar m tn Escitalopram can take up to 4 weeks to reach therapeutic levels, but this time frame is not etched in stone. It may take you 5 weeks, someone else, 3 weeks. I'd give it at least another two weeks before discussing a change with the doctor and more likely the answer may lie in simply upping your dose to the maxiumim of 20mg/d. Escitalopram is basically an antidepressant with unlabeled uses for anxiety/panic. I have PTSD and severe panic disorder.

Avatar m tn I been taking Citalopram for several years and intend to keep on taking it however I have recently come across Escitalopram and it is almost half the price here where I live. When googling it, it seems to be part of the same family. Do you think I would be able to easily change from one to the other?
950277 tn?1247274551 celexa generic citalopram and brand name cipram in the the eastern countries is produced by the same Danish company which produces cipralex/lexapro/escitalopram. In different forums one finds many pts using it. it's weaker than lexapro, exactly half its therapeutic dose in maximum and minimum. BP pts take wellbutrin, celexa, lexapro in the majority of the cases. A few take seroxat/paxil to go with lamictal.

Avatar f tn i have recently been perscribed 10mg Escitalopram to treat my general anxiety disorder, as well as underlying depression i have, i was just wondering if anybody knoes of any herbal substances i can take along with the Escitalopram to help me sleep as at the moment my sleep pattern is all over the place, and it makes me feel lowsy all day , any herbal sleep enchancement tablets available from the pharmacy without perscription state to not take if you are on any type of anti depressant medication
Avatar n tn Medtronic and guidant in particular are very popular. Do some google research, there are some published articles on models names and recalls. And types, look into that too, as there are single lead, 2 lead, etc. Pacers only activate at too low of a rate, they do nothing over a certain heart rate (usually around 40).
Avatar n tn Actually, both of those are generics for the brand names Loestrin and Microgestin. Generics all have their own names but from a chemical standpoint, the active ingredients are identical to the name brand. Where Junel and Blisovi differ is just in the inactive ingredients.

874521 tn?1424116797 Check the Identifier for the brand names such as those listed below, but it seems that they have it together with the acetaminophen (Tylenol) in brand names such as oxycodone and acetaminophen GENERIC NAME: oxycodone and acetaminophen BRAND NAMES: Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox, Endocet You have to have the name of the medicine .. not just the oxy ingredient. It works for meds such as Percocet but not Percodan .. You need to use a bit of name brand inputting. I hope this is helpful.
Avatar n tn Just wondering if anybody here has ever taken Domperidone and Escitalopram. It says in the Domperidone leaflet not to take the two medications together, and some quick research online says there is a severe interaction between the two medicines. Despite this my doctor has prescribed them both to me. 30mg of Domperidone a day + 20mg of Escitalopram a day. Should I consult with my doctor about this or will I be fine? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn GENERIC NAME: oxycodone. BRAND NAMES: Oxycontin In case someone was unaware of the names.

Avatar f tn I am having a really difficult time health-wise..In recent tests (mri) they found ischaemic lesions. Anyway, I didn't take it well since I am 46 only..
Avatar f tn I have been taking Escitalopram 10mg (aka Cipralex / Lexapro) for 31 days today. For this past week Ive been having repeated very bad morning anxiety/ morning terror. I wake up in a state of panic, palpitations, difficulty breathing, hot flashes, feeling of extreme terror, and I'm afraid to start my day. This sometimes continues for 3-4 hours and improves gradually if I take my Seroquel 100mg. But some days it continues until I go to bed.
