A member asked:
If i fall pregnant while on lexamil (20mg), should i wean myself off the medication, or stop it immediately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Escitalopram : I recommend consulting with the doctor who prescribed the medication. It needs to be determined it the need to remain on the medication outweighs the risks. If you and your provider do opt to come off of Lexamil, it can be determined if a taper is needed (depends on things like the dosage).
