I just replied but my post seems to have disappeared.

Most PCTs do not recommend escitalopram. Doctors are provided with NHS guidelines on what to prescribe for common conditions such as depression. Regarding escitalopram, these guidelines are only recommendations and have no legal basis. Some doctors stick to the guidelines but others don't.

About Viagra. Viagra is different to most meds because prescribing on the NHS is restricted by the Selected List Scheme (SLS). This means that doctors are only supposed to prescribe it on the NHS for patients who suffer from conditions on the list eg. diabetes and prostate cancer. The Selected List Scheme is part of NHS regulations and so doctors are not supposed to prescribe Viagra for other conditions, except on a private prescription. This is bad news if you need Viagra because of the other meds which your doc so kindly prescribed.
