Options: Your likely best options are from the group of antihistamines that are known not to enter the brain in significant amounts. This differs from Zyrtec that does.The chemical names include fexofinidine & loratadine. There are no listed interactions with escitalopram. How your system will react to any medication will require a trial use.
