Trembling in head after change of meds

[Martha21]

I don't know if anyone has experienced this but I have started getting a trembling feeling inside my head and body. I have been on citalopram for 7 months which wasn't doing the trick for my anxiety and depression, so the doc did a straight overnight swap to escitalopram. This was 8 days ago. Could it be the change in meds or is my depression getting worse? I am really frightened of the feeling and think it is a sign that I am finally going to lose my mind. Any advice?

You are not losing your mind, its probably the change in meds.

Even though it feels like my brain is shaking? How long can these things last?

I sounds like wthdrawal from the Citalopram and temporary side effects from Escitalopram. I don't think most GP's would have stopped the Citalopram without tapering off. I would say, if it is no better by Monday, go back to your GP and tell him your symptoms.

I hope you start to feel better.
