It’s been 5 weeks on 15mg. 12 wks since I started 10mg..


Given you've needed to take 20mg in the past I don't think you're on an excess dose now. Agitation tends to occur a little more often with escitalopram than the parent compound citalopram, so if it continues to be a problem switching to the older med might resolve it. As they share the same active drug (citalopram also contains a mostly inactive isomer of it) there should be few if any side-effects.
I did take 20mg a couple of years ago but I was in a much more debilitating state than I am this time.

If I were to switch to Citalopram, is it a straight switch or do I have to come off ESC than back on Cit?
