Hello,
Escitalopram 5-10 mg in morning after breakfast can.help you. But if you take my advice, looking at your drug history, i would suggest that you should try to take one of the old molecules. Sertraline ( serta) is very good and safe antidepressant and anti anxiety drug. It is almost same as escitalopram ( even better than this).
The reason being that when you are ready to take a drug or your problems and you have been keeping fine on some molecule- then it is intellegent to use one amongst them (so, try a tested and tried molecuel and save a newer drug for emergency and difficult situatuon.).
So, if there is no particular reason , taking sertraline 25-50mg in morning and increasing it to100-150mg , should suffice the need. I am not against escitalopram at allm but avoid trying several types of antidperessant when.you can.keep fine otherwise.
Hope this helps you.
Please feel free to ask more questions for clarification.
