I cannot carry on like this.
I’m on edge almost all day every day and for no real reason.
I have tried meditation for the past 3 evenings.
I was on escitalopram 5mg from the age of 21 up until Feb this year (13 years) and have been off for past 4 months. I came off them sooooo slow. I felt ok for first 3 months then bang it hit me out the blue 3/4 weeks ago. I literally panic about having to do everything even the school/Pre school run. Driving. Work. You name it. And I can’t even explain why.
I remember when I first started taking this med I had some unwanted side effects. So am debating re starting but cutting my 5mg into half so starting at 2.5mg from this evening and seeing how I get on. Hoping that way any side effects will be minimal. Anyone else tried this? Also I used to take mine at night just before I got into bed. Hubby thinks maybe take early evening so hopefully if any side effects were to happen it’d be whilst I was awake rather than disrupting my sleep. What do you think?
