Dr. Edward Kuhnley answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Medscape indicates no interactions between Cialis (for ED) and Escitalopram (for anxiety disorder and/or Depression). Take only as directed by your prescriber. It is best to start at 5 mg and adjust based on response and side effects. Best regards for great health.
