I think it is my 8th day at 10mg. Is this normal?
At this early stage escitalopram won't be having a positive impact even factoring in whatever residual benefit may have accumulated from the small paroxetine dose, but, as with all ADs at the beginning, it could be making anxiety worse because of the increased serotonin activity. It is early days so I wouldn't read too much into it, or the better previous day, John.
