Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
NEXITO is a brand of escitalopram. For anxiety it is started as 10 mg once daily, increased if necessary to maximum dose of 20 mg daily.
Generalized fatigue is one of the side effect, i think it is responsible for your other symptom. Presently i advice you to take the dose as prescribed and i advice yopu to be careful while taking the medication.
I also advice you to see consulting psychiatrist when you reach your place and brief him about your symptoms.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
