Cipralex is called Lexapro here in the states. Escitalopram oxalate is the generic name. Used to treat panic and anxiety disorders, and depression. I would not think you would feel much effect right away, but I suppose it is possible, usually it takes a few weeks to fully kick in.
If you have any challenges with depression and/or anxiety, can you find a good doctor and possibly try this med or another legally? You do need health care oversight when taking any medications like this, for your own safety and wellbeing. You deserve it.
