A member asked:
I'm currently taking escitalopram 20 mg daily, but i believe my depressive symptomps had worsened in the last months. i used to take duloxetine but my last psychiatrist decided against it because i was experiencing too many side effects.

Let your doctor know: that your symptoms have worsened. Don't rely on medications alone to cure your depression. Psychotherapy is very important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be especially effective.
