How long does it take for lexapro (escitalopram) to get out of your system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
a few days: Lexapro (escitalopram) is taken once daily for a steady state to be achieved in your body. If you stop, it will take several days for it to be out of your system. Side effects may subside within a day or two. The beneficial effects may last a few weeks. Please discuss this with your treating physician to get a more specific answer for you personally. This information is generally valid.
