Can Escitalopram help with grieving

I lost my nearly 16yro beautiful doggie 3 weeks ago and I have never felt so awful in all my life. I didn’t eat for over a week, lost about 1.5 stone. Was having panic attacks and high anxiety. My partner has never experienced grief nor had any real “bond” with pets so has no idea & what I’m feeling. Sympathy offered was not enough so felt very alone at home. Luckily I have supportive parents and good friends 😊 I also have a 3yro boy who has been a good distraction. I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced grief/feelings of anxiety and depression and found Escitalprom helpful?
I’ve been on it for over a year now but just asked the Gp to increase my dose from 10mg to 20mg because I just can’t shift this awful low mood & sadness. I know it probably just takes a while to feel better but it’s just so hard to function when you have zero interest in anything. Any positive stories or advice is welcomed 🥰
