Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Rexipra (escitalopram) does not cause addiction but must be taken under medical supervision. These medicines need to be taken over a month or more to know the effects and improvement in condition. Do not worry and follow up with your psychiatrist and inform them of your improvement or new symptoms.
