What Is Lexapro Used For?

Lexapro prescription medication, like citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), and sertraline (Zoloft), belongs to a class of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) - somewhat similar to desvenlafaxine (Pristiq). Lexapro is indicated for treating some patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Lexapro contains the active ingredient escitalopram and is thought to work by interfering with the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) by neurons in the central nervous system. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found to have effects related to mood regulation and emotional health.

Lexapro - Dosage and Cost

Frequently, the starting dose used is Lexapro 10 mg but the actual dose used depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider and the health characteristics of the patient.
