Hello dear,
Lexapro i.e escitalopram is indicated for Depression, Anxiety disorders etc... Klonopin i.e Clonazepam has got various indications also but the point to be noted that Clonazepam has got dependence/ abuse potential so should not be used for longer period (max- 2,3 weeks)..also not longer for SOS basis.. what is the right dose of escitalopram for you depends on person to person and also the diagnosis etc...So discuss with your Psychiatrist about it and kindly don't self medicate......I hope it helps you
Regards
