I am currently on day 8 of Escitalopram at 10mg and I am so down and depressed.
I was already battling a severe bout of health anxiety that was induced by my step father getting diagnosed with cancer. I've lost almost 15 lbs in 2 months because I've been so nauseous that I couldn't eat, I haven't been sleeping, I've been shaky and miserable for months. Once I realized what was happening and that all of my tests were clear, I sought out help from a CBT therapist with no luck, I know these things that time, but i have a small child and i need help NOW. So i went to my gyno and ask for reassurance ome last time that i didnt have breast cancer as I feared and then I asked for meds.
She put me on 10mg from the start and let me tell you, it has been pure hell. It has amplified my nausea, shakes, and insomnia. I am over here dying. I am at the point that I wish I were dying so that there would be an end to this. I dont know how to keep living like this. It has been a solid 2 months of pure hell.
Someone please tell me you've experienced this and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I want to eat again, I want to sleep again. I just want to enjoy my kid and life again.
