Welcome to the forums Jenny. I'm sure you'll find plenty of help and support here - I certainly have. :)

We can't give medical advice here so if you are having problems with your meds your first port of call is your doctor. I know from reading people's posts on this site that some people find escitalopram easier to tolerate than citalopram. Until you can see your doctor, I'd suggest staying on your prescribed dose as your doctor may want you to taper off or cross-taper to a different med which may suit you better. Hope this helps.
