Yes, these symptoms can be related to your current medications.
• Loose motions can occur with drugs like ESIX-10 (escitalopram) or due to gastric irritation from other medicines.
• Excessive sleepiness is a common side effect, especially with combinations affecting the nervous system.
Next Steps
I recommend consulting your prescribing doctor soon for review and possible modification of treatment.
If needed, you can connect for a quick consultation to safely adjust your medications.
Health Tips
Do not stop medicines abruptly, but this combination may need dose adjustment.
Stay hydrated and monitor if diarrhea persists more than 2–3 days.
