I can not answer to what and why your doctor is going to do for your future. I am no longer on Escitalopram as it was not working fully for me. I was switched back to Zoloft, generic is Sertraline, as this has always worked better for me. Everyone is different in how they respond to antidepressants so for you Escitalopram may be the best. The doctor will probably wait to see how you respond to the changes. Much of medicine is trying to see what works. Please let us know how it goes for you in the future.
