Totally one year.Please tell me the side effects, I feel better now hence I would like to quit this. I am afraid would this affect my fertility. I am going to be married in 4 months. Please explain me in detail
Brief Answer:
hi, there are no significant side effects
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. Welcome to HCM.
You have taken nexito 10 mg daily for 2 months and now taking it once weekly for last 8 months. So this is similar to taking multivitamins, there are no steady state plasma level of escitalopram in your body. It is neither helping in your depression nor it is causing any side effects. So don't worry. It has caused nothing to you. The sexual side efdects are less with nexito and actually you have not taken it in suffucient amount that it can cause sexual problems. Usual sexual side effects are decrease sexual desire, delayed ejaculation, but in your case you wont face any of these. So don' t worry and prepare for marriage. Your married life will be great.
Hope i have answered your query. If you have further question then feel free to ask. Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Hi, you have to take drug from other class
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.
If you are experiencing the same symptoms repeatedly then I feel you can take a antidepressant that dose not have sexual side effects. In my patient, I prefer Bupropion which is a NDRI drug, which elevates the level if both dopamine and norepinephrine. Your mood will improve along with other symptoms and will get benefited within 15 days. There are no significant side effects but some nauseating feeling and dizziness might be there for few days after starting the drug. Starting dose is 150 mg in the morning. Visit your psychiatrist and discuss about this drug for further benefit.
Actually, foods are not that much of benefit but you can continue taking walnut. Fish oil is better for health not for lifting mood. There are no scientific studies. These all are pharmaceutical marketing to make money. Don't take any supplements.
There are non pharmacological exercises for depression like physical exercise for at least 20 minutes in a day for 5 days a week, meditation and yoga, breathing exercises, organizing your work, following schedule of work, engaging in hobbies and recreational activities, attending social occasions, playing outdoor as well as indoor games. These things will benefit you a lot. Take healthy diet. Avoid junk food, oily, spicy food as well as red meat, pizza etc.

Brief Answer:
Inspirational literature will help
Detailed Answer:
hi, thanks for writing gain.
The confidence level depends upon your positive attitude and optimism to each and every aspect of life whether it is for good or for bad.
You have to understand what is bothering you? The psychiatric illnesses and particularly depression and anxiety occur because of faulty cognitive schemes in your thinking. faulty thinking lead to faulty assumptions and finally person believes in that is not true.
I here suggest you to visit a psychiatrist and ask for cognitive behavior therapy. If the anxiety and depression are mild to moderate then by psychotherapy you can learn the ways of controlling your thinking and staying out of faulty thoughts.
Inspirational literature like books of XXXXXXX khera will help or any spiritual literature will help.
Apart from this, work out in gym will not help you to relieve your nervousness, instead it may cause more nervousness. The walking and jogging 5 days a week will help more than working out in gym. Full body massage is only for temporary relaxation, the effects won't last longer. So don't waste money on that. Meditation and yoga will be better options.
