Hi, I am in the process of changing my medication from duloxetine to Escitalopram for predominantly Anxiety and intrusive thoughts due to dr saying I have an intolerance to SNRI's, as both venlafaxine and duloxetine seemed to start working but when I increased the dose up to were the noradrenaline kicks in it makes me worse! I am feeling quite down at the moment as I'm fed up of having this bout of anxiety for a year and feels like there is no end in site. I am scared of the side effects that come with taking a new med, especially the increased anxiety, is this worse/same/better on Escitalopram than starting other SSRI's? I know everyone is different for everyone but a heads up would be handy. Anyone else just starting on this med?
