You can continue to take both together. Ashwagandha is for strengthening your general immunity and may not okay a part in your psychiatric condition.

Hi I am an allopathy doctor/ consultant psychiatrist. Sometimes SSRIs interact with Ayurvedic medicines which incease seretonin levels in the brains and body. I am now sure if Ashwagandha does that. My recommendation would be to continue escitalopram 10
