What can be done to reduce nausea after taking escitalopram?

Question

Hi. I have been vomiting a lot due to stress. I was prescribed sandoz escitalopram. I tried escitalopram yesterday and it seems like I've been having nausea since this morning. Should I continue the medication or stop it? 1 1/2 pill (5mg) and I took them with a glass of water

Good evening, I have 2 questions for you: What is the prescribed dose? How do you take your medication? I agree. I suggest you continue taking escitalopram 5 mg for a few more days. Nausea may be an effect of the medication at the beginning of the treatment. After a few days, the nausea will decrease. I strongly encourage you to continue taking the medication and to take it with food to reduce nausea. Have a nice day, Chloe
