Lexapro helps restore the altered chemicals in the brain and is beneficial for treating depression, and generalized anxiety. It is an orally administered drug that is recommended for people above twelve years of age. If you take pimozide or citalopram then you should avoid the intake of Lexapro. A daily dose of 10 mg is recommended; an increase in dose to 20 mg should occur after a minimum of three weeks in adolescents, and a minimum of one week in adults.
