Hi everyone.

just looking for a bit of advice.

Was on escitalopram for 6 years at 10mg. Did help but I didn’t enjoy some side effects like sexually and lack of emotion.

I reduced down from 10 to 5 and then 0 for 2 months and have been off for 6 weeks now.

To begin I felt much better, even calmer but about 3-4 weeks in I started to feel low, anxious , not sleeping great and all the old feelings I had before started coming back.

I really don’t want to go back on the pills but I also don’t want to feel like this.

I have an appointment with my GP later this month.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is this normal ?

thanks.
