There are several different forms and strengths available for Lexapro: oral solution and tablets. The medicine is typically taken once a day, either at bedtime (if you experience drowsiness) or in the morning (if you experience insomnia).
Lexapro belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It works by balancing the levels of serotonin, a chemical that can become unbalanced in people with depression. Several clinical studies have shown both oral Lexapro and the tablets to be effective at treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Also, a long-term study has shown that it can help prevent relapse.
