There is this patient that has been on Lexapro since December, but she has not been taking it every day. I told her to take it every day, but when I called after one week she said she was taking it as needed. What is the proper way to deal with this according to professionals? She has been on the drug for about 6 months and has still felt depressed, but she did not take it every day. What would you write on a patient case? Continue to stress the importance of adherence or just recommend switching drug classes?
