I am nearly 8 weeks on escitalopram now (2 on 5mg, 6 on 10mg). It has been a slow process but feel that my physical symptoms have more or less vanished, but in the last couple of days, my anxiety seems to have increased, I am not sure if this has got to do with a cold/cough that has come on, but had a horrible cold flush which I haven't had before and wondered if I am having a blip or if I need to increase the dose. My stomach also hasn't felt right since starting the drug but it is very up and down and wonder if it will ever straighten out...?
