Thought i was doin better!

[icicledreamz]

Well, I have been in escitalopram now for about 7 weeks, just uped to 10mg 3 days ago, and today i feel like my anxiety is terrible, i've got that pounding heart feeling and just general anxiousness. Im feeling quite discouraged because i was hoping i was on my way to feeling better so i would be able to see a therapist..now im started to get depressed and wondering if i should even continue taking these pills. Is this normal? or does it mean that these aren't working for me?

Hi there

have been where you have been so many times since I started escitalopram (14 Mar) but I am now having more good days than bad and can see light at the end of the tunnel!!! I have had to do a lot of work on my own to remain positive like affirmations, kinesiology and exercise. Sorry to be so negative - it has been a long hard struggle but you will get there.

I was on citalopram before (saw locum this time & she gave nme esc!!!!!!!) and it worked much more quickly for me but had more side effects starting on it. Too late to change now so I will stick with the esc.

Good luck whatever you decide and let me know how you get on,

Take care
