Hello Doctor, I was prescribed Escitalopram 5 mg and I started taking it on 28 January 2026. I took Escitalopram 5 mg for 8 days, but after that, for the next 4 days I accidentally took a different medicine, thinking it was Escitalopram because both tablets looked the same in color. I realized this mistake today (10 February 2026). I am worried whether missing Escitalopram for 4 days can cause any problem. About 1 year ago, I had OCD intrusive thoughts, including unwanted sexual intrusive thoughts involving my mother. Earlier, I had taken Flunil 40 mg continuously for about 9 months, after which my symptoms stopped completely and I felt recovered. Currently, those intrusive thoughts have NOT returned, but I am feeling fear and anxiety that they might come back because of this 4-day accidental gap. I would like to know: Can a 4-day accidental gap at a low dose of 5 mg Escitalopram cause relapse of OCD or any withdrawal symptoms?

He couldn't focus on his job. He is aloof, dull. Not much interaction. We don't want to leave him alone. He spent 25 days in mental health hospital and the doctor said it's a cluster bean problem. What's the solution and whether he will be alright. How long the medication is to be taken? Whether will he be able to work?
