Is Cipralex An Abusable Drug?

I am taking cipralex for depression. It works amazing.
I don't want to tell my buddy about it...although he is depressed and could useable antidepressant. He snorts some meds ...so I'm afraid. To tell him invade he gets it and snorts it.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Cipralex contains escitalopram and it is not a addicted drug. You can use it for many months, but whenever you would become asymptomatic, try to stop it. You can also give it to your husband if he has depression. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
