I have been taking escitalopram 10 mg every night (10 pm) for five weeks. I forgot to take it and just remembered the next day at 4 am. It makes me very sleepy and dizzy (like bad motion sickness) in about hour and a half after having taken it, and I have to attend school in a few hours, so I am afraid taking it now will make me sleepy and dizzy for school. I wonder if it is ok to resume at the time I usually take it later on today. Thanks.
Missed dose of escitalopram?

isa13; Yes it does happen but being as late as it just gets through today, And take your regular dose tonight or it will just be to sedation during the day today. But you may feel a bit off today nothing to worry about. Good luck
