    Re: 2.5mg escitalopram

    Hello Mumzy.

    I was med-free for a month when I came off Trimipramine. i was then on Mirtazapine for a week. Then Amitriptyline for 2 weeks, and now escitalopram for 10 weeks.

    The escitalopram side-effects I experienced were insomnia and nausea. I started on 2.5mg for 5 days. I felt a bit better, but my anxiety wasn't that much improved. I went up to 5mg after 3 days and up to 10 after another 3 days. My sleeping is fine now (I still take Zopiclone and have for 18 years) and the nausea has gone, although I did have a week of it at about week 5.

    I'm now suffering from ear and sinus problems and feeling generally rubbish and I'm waiting on blood tests. I honestly don't know if the escitalopram is causing me problems or if I need to take more of it or if it's something else. The anxiety is better but not gone.

    All I do know is I've tried to be med-free and the anxiety was crippling.

    Kel, 5mg was perfect for me. If I could see I was going to be an anxious mess like I am now 4 months down the line, I’d never of stopped taking them!! Stick with it

    Sleepy, I hope your bloods come back ok totally with you on the anxiety front, this is no way to live
