Abstract
This study explored the efficacy and tolerability of very high doses (maximum dose of >40 mg/day), high doses (maximum dose of 25-40 mg/day), and standard doses (maximum dose of ≤20 mg/day) of escitalopram (ESC) as an anti-obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment in a naturalistic clinical setting. We reviewed the medical records of all patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (n=246) who had taken ESC between May 2006 and September 2009, and assigned Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scores, retrospectively. Of the total sample, 24.4, 38.2, and 37.4% patients received very high, high, and standard doses of ESC, and the mean daily maximum doses of ESC were 57.3±12.0 mg, 33.9±5.4 mg, and 13.4±5.8 mg, respectively. The CGI-Severity scores in each group decreased significantly after treatment with ESC, as evidenced by response rates (i.e. CGI-Improvement scores of 1 or 2) of 46.3, 43.2, and 26.2%, respectively. Although some adverse events increased in a dose-dependent manner, most could be managed with an ESC dose adjustment. These results imply that doses less than or equal to 40 mg/day ESC are sufficient for symptomatic improvement with good tolerability for most patients. Very high doses of ESC, on the other hand, can be considered for patients with inadequate therapeutic responses to the administration of 40 mg/day ESC.

Examining The Use Of Lexapro In The Treatment Of OCD
Content
- Overview
- What is obsessive-compulsive disorder?
- Is Lexapro used as a treatment for OCD?
- Lexapro dosage in the treatment of OCD
- What are the side effects of Lexapro?
- How long does Lexapro take to work for OCD?
- Conditions to discuss with your health care provider before taking Lexapro
- The lowdown
Lexapro is an antidepressant belonging to the class of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Lexapro works by regulating serotonin levels in the brain. It is available as 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg tablets, as well as liquid drops. The generic name for Lexapro is escitalopram.
Doctors typically prescribe Lexapro to treat anxiety and depression, especially anxiety and depression associated with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). Physicians can, in some situations, prescribe Lexapro to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Have you considered clinical trials for Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)?
We make it easy for you to participate in a clinical trial for Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and get access to the latest treatments not yet widely available - and be a part of finding a cure.
Check your eligibility
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness characterized by recurrent unpleasant thoughts or feelings (obsessions) or a strong need to repeat a behavior (compulsions). Many people with OCD are aware that their thoughts or actions are irrational.
However, they engage in these recurrent and repetitive behaviors not because they enjoy it but because they cannot stop.
Some examples of obsessive thoughts are worrying about people getting hurt or being constantly aware of your breathing, blinking rate, or other physical sensations. Examples of compulsive habits include:
Performing tasks in a certain order
Needing to count items such as bottles or steps
Being afraid of shaking hands, using public restrooms, touching doorknobs, etc.
Not all routines or habits are compulsions. Everyone double-checks things once in a while. However, people with OCD cannot control their thoughts or behaviors, and they will spend at least an hour a day on these obsessions or compulsions.
While people with OCD do not enjoy their compulsive habits or rituals, doing them may temporarily relieve the anxiety generated by their obsessive thoughts.
Few studies¹ have assessed the use of escitalopram (Lexapro) for OCD; however, studies² have found that escitalopram has good efficacy in treating several OCD symptoms. Several indicators show that escitalopram has significant potential in treating OCD in adults.
These indicators include:
Lexapro is an SSRI, similar to other medicines used as first-line therapy for OCD
Among the SSRIs, escitalopram is the most selective 5HT reuptake inhibitor
Escitalopram has been proven effective in treating other anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder
Escitalopram³ was found to be superior to placebo in one double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of escitalopram in OCD
A study⁴ was done to determine the efficacy and tolerability of escitalopram in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), using paroxetine — another SSRI, as a reference.
The study showed that escitalopram, 20 mg/day, was linked with improved functioning, higher response and remission rates, and better tolerability than paroxetine. Escitalopram should, therefore, be regarded as one of the first-line medications in the long-term treatment of OCD.
The dosage of Lexapro for OCD varies depending on the patient's symptoms, medical history, and sensitivity to adverse effects.
According to a 2014 study,⁵ SSRIs are more successful in treating OCD in high doses, often higher than the doses used to treat the major depressive disorder (MDD). According to the study, a 40 mg dose of escitalopram⁶ is commonly required to treat OCD symptoms.
A 40 mg dose for OCD differs from other disorders, as escitalopram is prescribed in doses ranging from 10 to 20 mg daily to treat depression and anxiety. The same study discovered that OCD patients on Lexapro — or another SSRI — take longer to respond to the medication and require more treatment time.
Talking to your doctor before taking Lexapro for OCD is crucial because the FDA does not specify a precise Lexapro dosage for OCD.
The effects of Lexapro, like any other medication, will vary from person to person. The most common adverse effects of Lexapro include:
Nausea
Fatigue
Diarrhea
Headache
Constipation
Drowsiness
Dry mouth
Increased sweating
Restlessness
Insomnia
These side effects will often improve over the first week or two as you continue to take the medication. Contact your doctor if the symptoms persist or worsen.
In rare circumstances, Lexapro has been known to cause serious side effects, such as:
Low levels of sodium in the blood
The onset of manic episodes
Changes in appetite
Unexplained weight gain
Vision problems
An increase in suicidal thoughts or actions
Violent behavior
New or worsening depression, anxiety, or panic attacks
There is always the possibility of side effects with any drug. However, Lexapro is a safe and effective medication when taken as directed.
The physiological effects of Lexapro start almost immediately, and many people notice a difference quickly. Even though the drug starts to work from the first day it is taken, different people will experience the effects at different periods.
Most people say they start to feel the effects of their medication after four to eight weeks of taking it consistently.
Before you start taking Lexapro, there are a few things you need to talk to your doctor about. First, inform them if you are allergic to escitalopram, citalopram, or other medications. Other conditions you should discuss include:
Other medications you are currently taking
Whether you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan to get pregnant
If you drink alcohol or use drugs
Whether you have suicidal thoughts
It's important to ensure your doctor knows whether you have any medical issues, such as liver disease. The liver is principally responsible for the metabolism of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), so patients with liver disease may have difficulties metabolizing Lexapro.
Even though escitalopram appears to be effective in various anxiety disorders, little research has been done on its efficacy in OCD. However, several case studies imply that escitalopram may be beneficial for disorders with obsessive features or conditions linked to OCD. More clinical studies need to be done to confirm the role of escitalopram in the treatment of OCD.

Medical Applications
Celexa is approved for treatment of depression and anxiety disorder, dysmorphic disorder OPMDD, and telepathic disorder There may be significant symptoms of premature ejaculation and pathological crying followed by a stroke.
Lexapro is currently approved for the treatment of depression and is officially recognized for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. Might as well get out of the etiquette for OCD and panic disorder.
Use for use
Celexa is not approved for use.
Lexapro is SAS approved. Some teachings both suggest that the couple are not safe and that Lexapro is not associated with an increase in the suicidal idea of children and young men.
Mechanism
Both Celexa and Lexapro are selective serotonin reverse signal inhibitors (SSRI). These prevent the re-uptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin in nerve cells by releasing it, somehow leading up to more serotonin in the brain. See how SSRI works (YouTube video)
