If cost is a concern, more affordable options are often available, but you should never change your medicines on your own and must consult your doctor before switching. For Escitalopram, lower-cost brands such as Ecitelo, Escigress, or S-Celepra may be used, and for Quetiapine, brands like Qupin or Qutiwel can be more economical while containing the same medicine. The key point is that the generic name (salt) remains the same, which ensures a similar effect at a lower cost. In some cases, your doctor may also suggest alternative medicines if suitable. Always discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes so that your treatment remains safe and effective.

Depression, insomnia, and weight loss can be linked to mental health conditions like major depression or anxiety, but they can also be caused by thyroid problems, chronic stress, infections, or other medical issues. Since these symptoms affect both mind and body, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and support.
