After a year on escitalopram I知 switching to venlafaxine.
Escitalopram took away the anxiety but gave me the following:-
hypo mania
jaw clenching and teeth grinding, cracking my tooth
ear pain
sinus pressure
insomnia
irritability
general malaise
Like most of us, I suppose, I知 looking for a cure for anxiety that doesn稚 make me feel ill in other ways. This will be the 6th AD I致e tried.
Wish me luck.
