Depression not recovered
I started taking antidepressants 4 years back. I took Nexito20 for 2 years(tried to stop for 3-4 times in between)earlier and finally stooped in 1 month time. After that I took it again coz my condition worsened after that.  I stopped after 2 years coz I was having heat&sweat in body when I used to do anything even playing or watching movies at home etc.Again it's happening. How much  it take for medicine to show full effects as it is 4 months again. Why am I having this symptom? Is it anxiety? Is it depression not completely becoming alright?

Depression and Anxiety are treated with similar medicines (SSRIs - in your case Escitalopram ie Nexito) as their underlying biochemical basis are quite similar. Usually the medicines reach peak levels in 8-12 weeks. If there is not much benefit then it is augmented with other drug. We also assignment with CBT. Please talk to your prescribing doctor about suboptimal response to medication. S/he will do some changes and help you. Also, s/he may enrol you for Psychotherapy sessions.
