    Ben I really hope you feel so much better soon, those feelings of panic are horrendous, I have spent many a time going to the emergency doctor in the past. I should think the increase in Escitalopram will take a couple of weeks to properly kick in and it's a shame your doctor couldn't have helped you with a bit of Diazepam. I don't know if I am lucky or not as my doctors give me both Lorazepam (which is even stronger) and sleeping pills but I am probs very addicted after 7 months of use but it has certainly helped me get the Escitalopram into my system. xxx

    Hey Karen and Paul

    Hope you guys are doing good and thank you for the messages. Took 20mg last night and managed a couple of hours sleep before work which really helped. Felt very good at work last night which was great and am feeling a bit better in general however today I'm am struggling to sleep which is a downer but I know I just need to give the meds time to kick in! Gonna keep going and stay strong!

    Take care
    Ben

    Hey guys

    How are you both?

    Still carrying on with the 20mgs of escit a day rather than the 10. Feel very calm but also very, very sedated and detached from myself. It's a little bit disconcerting but I've experienced it before so I'm just trying to ride it out!

    Take care
    Ben

    Still plodding along Karen. Went up to 5mg last week and plan on giving it a few weeks. Not great yet, but bearable.

    Good it's not so terrible at least Paul...I was the same (: I stayed on 5mg's until after Christmas time and then went up to 10mg's. Began Escitalopram first week in November last year. You are doing really well though by the sounds of it xxx
