Hello,
NEXITO ( ESCITALOPRAM ) is used for treatment of depression and is generally started with dose of 10 mgnand then increased gradually.
Since you have started with a high dose of 40 mg,it can cause side effcts like nausea,vomiting,diarrhoea,drowsiness,fatigue,excitement,fast heart beats etc.
You must immediately consult your doctor and if the patient is restless and agitated,then it would be better to go to ER immediately.
Thanks
