Selection of antidepressant.

Hi, I second the opinion of Dr. Sonam. About taking it with Atomoxetine, caution is advised. Co prescription should be first evaluated by the consulting Psychiatrist.

Continue treatment with the consulting Psychiatrist

Discuss it in person with the consulting Psychiatrist

Hello, Escitalopram is often perceived as one of the more "calming" SSRIs, especially for individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or prominent anxiety symptoms. Compared to sertraline or fluoxetine, it may cause less activation or initial agitation in some patients and is generally better tolerated in terms of GI side effects and sleep. However, whether it feels “more relaxing” can vary by person. Sertraline and fluoxetine may have activating properties in some users, especially early in treatment, but they can also be effective in anxiety, depression, and OCD. Regarding escitalopram with atomoxetine, this combination can be used in certain clinical scenarios, particularly where both anxiety/depression and ADHD symptoms coexist. However, the combination should be prescribed and closely monitored by a psychiatrist, as both affect neurotransmitter systems and carry a theoretical risk.

1. Consult your psychiatrist before making any medication changes or combinations. 2. Share detailed symptom targets—e.g., whether anxiety, low mood, or attention is more prominent. 3. Do not mix medications without supervision, especially SSRIs with agents affecting norepinephrine.

There’s no universally “most relaxing” antidepressant- it depends on individual neurobiology, tolerance, and response. Always prioritize safety, supervision, and regular follow-up when combining medications.
