Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queriesEscitalopram is a SSRI drug and the drug is a good drug for anxiety and depression. When the drug is started in any patient for first week of therapy individuals may suffer from increased anxiety, restlessness and headache which usually reduce after a week. So most likely her increased headache will go after some days. Alternatively you can ask her doctor and can start with low doses of drug like 5 mg for first week and then increasing the dose in next week.Rexipra and Essopam both are different brands of same drug. No need to worry about that.Thanks, hope this helps you.
