LEXAPRO is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). LEXAPRO is also known as Escitalopram, and only required 3.5 years to develop, in large part due to their previous release of Celexa, or Citalopram, which has very similar pharmacology. Of all the SSRIs currently on the market, LEXAPRO has the highest affinity for the human Serotonin transporter, or the protein that transports Serotonin. This protein is also the target of stimulants drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine.

Serotonin influences the cardiovascular, renal, immune and gastrointestinal systems, and is essential to regulate body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and the sympathetic nervous system. Therefore, stopping LEXAPRO incorrectly can adversely affect many areas of the body.

Because SSRI’s influence numerous systems of the body and brain, stopping abruptly can cause what is termed a discontinuation syndrome. Therefore, gradual dose reduction (also known as tapering), combined with specific nutritional support is recommended to help the body and brain during the withdrawal.
