Stalopam 5mg

About Stalopam 5mg

Stalopam 5mg is a widely prescribed medication primarily used for managing depression and a range of anxiety disorders. Its active ingredient is Escitalopram, which is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI).

What it’s Used For

This is one of its primary uses. It helps to improve mood, reduce feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in daily activities, and generally alleviate the symptoms of clinical depression.

Helps to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, which involve sudden, intense feelings of fear and physical symptoms like a racing heart and shortness of breath.

How it Works

Stalopam 5mg works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a natural chemical messenger that plays a crucial role in regulating mood, emotions, sleep, and appetite.

By blocking the reuptake of serotonin by nerve cells, Escitalopram makes more serotonin available, which helps to improve communication between brain cells and thus alleviates the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Side Effects

Common side effects often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. These can include:

• Nausea
• Headache
• Dry mouth
• Drowsiness or fatigue
• Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)
• Dizziness

Stalopam 5mg is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the guidance and supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
