Re: Fear of swollowing tongue
Hi m - noticed your post. It is possible in VERY RARE cases that the Escitalopram you are on could cause swelling of the tongue and other parts of the mouth in an allergic reaction. I would assume that that would be really obvious though rather than just a sense of wrongness as you describe. So your feeling isn't one that should just be dismissed or ignored. BUT I would have thought you'd have had this earlier if you were actually allergic especially as you were ramped up via a low dose.
Others have experienced this so I'm guessing it can be a symptom of both our conditions and our medication - especially while it remains a feeling and assuming there is no visible swelling. Get someone else to look as us sufferers are too good at either ignoring problems or being very hypochondriac.
Take Care
