Yes, these symptoms can be related to your current medications.
• Loose motions can occur with drugs like ESIX-10 (escitalopram) or due to gastric irritation from other medicines.
• Excessive sleepiness is a common side effect, especially with combinations affecting the nervous system.
Next Steps
I recommend consulting your prescribing doctor soon for review and possible modification of treatment.
If needed, you can connect for a quick consultation to safely adjust your medications.
Health Tips
Do not stop medicines abruptly, but this combination may need dose adjustment.
