I think I am going to stick with it..I start 10mg tomorrow. Being off balance seems to be my biggest complaint, but I am going to give it time. How are you doing?

Hi Debbie,

Been down to 10mg for last couple of weeks. not really anxious so to speak but quite flat with very very litle motivation. My £200/ hr shrink was to call me back a couple of weeks ago but never did - so just trying to plod on myself.

i just live one dyat a time.

good luck with the escitalopram

Hi Debbie hope you are well,
how's the 10mg setting now?
We're really struggling at moment as my son has developed full blown ocd over the summer. 3 hrs in the shower no one allowed to touch him. He has been waiting for an appointment for the child mental health for three months. Tried to bring it forward couple of weeks back as it is accelerating so fast out of control. The mental health teams response was we only bring it for if he attempts suicide. So once again we have had to go private. The mental health care in this country is not fit for purpose.

Hey,
I've been switched from Citalopram 20mg and weaned myself down to 10mg (then cold turkey as I was so frustrated) and have now recently started 5mg escitalopram which will increase to 10mg in a few days. I've felt pretty off for the last few days and think that's a mix of coming off the cit and starting the esc, mainly nausea and vomiting (and I have the hugest phobia of vomit!). I'm trying to also be positive and know it will pass eventually, but having a side effect of increased anxiety when taking these for my anxiety is not ideal, especially as Uni start again in two weeks!
Hope they start to settle in soon, and hope they begin to have positive effects for you soon also!
Anyone else wish these things could work instantly

Hi Rosie,
Hang in there..I was on cit for a few months and find the escit (lexapro) is working better. I stopped the cit one day and started the escit the next day. I am now on 10mg...I hope you get some releif from it. We just have to be patient...debbie
