View Full Version : Just started Escitalopram
5 days on 10mg daily, had slight morning anxiety and sweats. Main thing is I feel completely drained and no energy, feel quite numb?
Anyone experienced the same?
How long do side effects last roughly?
Thanks

Those are typical initial side-effects of most SSRIs. While unpleasant they are not physically harmful.
How long do side effects last roughly?
A few weeks. How many depends on how the med meshes with your individual biology. Side-effects usually begin to moderate when an antidepressant's blood plasma levels stabilize to a steady state which for escitalopram is about 7 days, but they can linger for some.
Thanks for the info, and reassurance.
Hey Spawn
