Question : I accidentally took 20 mg of escitalopram instead of 10mg tonight. This is my first week of treatment. I feel slightly dizzy and slight stomach upset. Meanwhile is about bedtime in my country. Should i do anything or just go to bed regularly?

Thanks for your time"

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Don't worry... everything will be okay. You may have some stomach upset for the next day or two, but nothing dangerous will happen. You can sleep normally.
