Has anyone experienced nasty side effects from anxiety/depression medication?
I went on Escitalopram 10mg on Friday morning and by 11am my teeth were chattering whenever I talked, my stomach and esophagus felt like they were burning, my knees killed and I only used the bathroom once all day despite having about 6 glasses of water or tea. Very weird. I only took one pill and have stopped because I was worried these side effects weren't normal. I know your body takes a while to adjust to medication but I didn't want to spend the next week or so feeling like that. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Did you carry on? How long did it take for your body to adjust?
