Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query. Rexipra is Escitalopram - an SSRI anti-depressant. Now, SSRI anti-depressants are the most commonly used medication in the treatment of a variety of anxiety and depressive disorders. They are relatively safe, but like every other medication can have side effects. Now, just because a medicaine has a list of potential side effects, it does not mean that every one will develop them. Usually only a minority of the people develop any significant side effects. So, in your case, if you don't have any side effects and if your symptoms are well controlled with Rexipra, I would advise you to continue the medication for as long as your doctor advises you. Wish you all the best. Regards, Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist
