.01mL (one-hundreth milliliter) or, given the 10:1 concentration, 0.1mg (one-tenth milligram) escitalopram.Do-it-yourself liquid People report that they can make their own liquid from Lexapro tablets and water. It is sparingly soluble in water, see http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01175 -- stability (shelf-life of dilution) is unknown. Escitalopram oxalate occurs as a fine, white to slightly-yellow powder and is freely soluble in methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), soluble in isotonic saline solution, sparingly soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, and insoluble in heptane. According to RxList,com. Your best bet would be to use a homemade isotonic(normal saline) saline solution (9% salt in water) which is made by dissolving 9 grams(1.8 tsp) of table salt in 1000mL of water. Preparing a Saline Solution The NS(normal saline) should be good for up to a month to draw from. Draw out or extract the amount of NS(normal saline) for your desired dilution, add to a separate, mixing vessel, preferably amber colored, and with a lid, then add in your escitalopram tablet or powdered tablet until it's dissolved. Keep protected from light in the refrigerator, and best to remix a batch of your Lexapro(dissolved) at least every week. See How to make a liquid from tablets or capsules Using a combination of tablets or capsules and liquid Rather than switch directly to an all-liquid dose, you may wish to take part of your dose in liquid and part in lower-dose tablets or capsules, gradually converting to all liquid as you get to lower dosages. This can be very convenient and reduce any problems switching from one form of the drug to another. Switching to Prozac The risks of this method may not be worth switching from Lexapro to Prozac. This is usually used for medications with shorter half-lives than Lexapro. If you want to try this, make sure you consult a doctor who has done it many times and knows what he or she is doing.
