Hi all, I was prescribed escitalopram (10mg) by a psychiatrist a couple of weeks ago and now that they have run out I went to my gp and she has now given me a prescription for 20mg citalopram instead saying both meds are 'basically the same'. Firstly what does that even mean? I've had horrific sde effects with the escitalopram ad I'm jut about getting used to them. I'm terrified to change of it means I'm gonna go through more
horrid side effects, am hoping it's all the same :-( help.
Secondly, I'm about 8 stone and 5"4/5 so I'm pretty tiny, is 20mg not too much for me? Eek!
Thanks all xxx
