Hi, Usually missing only two doses might not lead to significant anxiety and depression symptoms. Sudden stopage of escitalopram can cause withdrawl symptoms like anxiety,restlessness, decreased sleep.
Next Steps
As u already restarted medication, you can wait for few more days and look for those symptoms.If there is persistence of symptoms,contact me.
