Re starting escitalopram

[WorrywartAus]

Hey Mumzy,

I started on 5mg. Minimal side effects.
I increased to 10mg after 4 days. Minimal. Had about a week of night sweats but, it wasn't extreme. About 2 weeks of insomnia. It was extreme either
I have 2 kids under 4 and I could still get stuff done.

I take my dose with breakfast and have zero nausea.

About to increase to 15mg tomorrow.

Hi Worrywart
Is there a reason for upping the dose if you're doing well?

My emetophobia is still crazy.
It's ruling my life x

I'm going great on 10mg.
Thinking of going off em soon.
Thanks for asking.

[WorrywartAus]

Oh great! Good luck with it.
Hoping you never need them again!

I was on them for 5 yrs then off for about 8 but things in general fell apart meaning I had to go back on.
Things are sorted now so I don't think I need em anymore.
I'll finish the scripts I have then chuck em.

Good for you! That's great that things are on the up for you!
