What is the proper way to get off Escialopram 10MG after taking it for 3 weeks? I am 81 years old. ## There really shouldn't be any major difficulties if you've only been taking it for 3 weeks and at such a low dosage. Maybe some minor withdrawal symptoms, but that's about it. Learn more Escitalopram details here. Are you experiencing bad side effects from it? You should double check this information, for your own health and safety. ## Thanks. I agree with your statement. Ben ## I have here a small white oval pill printed with ESC 10 on one side, but nothing on the other side. Is this a real Escitalopram? ## Come off of it very! Slowly and carefully. You don't want withdrawal symptoms which is terrible. Good Luck. Speak to your doctor as well.

white, round, 20mg tablets. Depression?? ## just was given cipralex to try for depression and anxiety - been on zoloft, effexor then prestiq - just wondered if anyone has had any good results ## I have been taking Lexam for approx 4 mths and found it to be far better than Zoloft or the mulitude of others I've been put on in the past. As I'm single I can't comment on any issues with Libido, something that it definitely affected by Zoloft, but I can say that it definitely makes it easier to get up each day. I sleep less (unlike when on Endep) and have more energy than before. I've had no issues with weight gain for once. If anything I've lost a little because I'm not gorging myself with comfort foods. I hope it works as well for you. ## Escitalopram is used to trea...

I took 80mg brand name Lexapro for several years and it was a great experience. I had no adverse side effects besides it keeping me a bit more on the manic side, but i liked that. Dare i say i felt as close to happy as i ever had. During some difficult financial times my doc suggested i try the much cheaper Celexa (citalopram) which he claimed was absolutely interchangeable with Lexapro. It wasn't. It didn't do a godamn thing for me. I gave it a couple months then asked for my Lexapro back, but again decided to go the cheaper route and get the generic. What a nightmare! Within the hour after ingesting 20mg of escitalopram i became violently ill. It creeped up with dizziness and a rapidly increasing heart rate, which got worse and worse until my heart was throbbing inside of my c...

Started taking Trintillex. Had bad side effects and stopped too fast which caused withdrawal. Now my Dr. has prescribed Escitalopram 5 mg. How long does this take to start working? Or is Zoloft 5mg better to start taking? Thanks so much. ## Zoloft is for middle aged women going through menopause It depresses young adults and seniors ## Iam waiting for a response regarding my questions about is Zoloft better or Lexapro which is escitalipram. ## Joni, which one may help you the most depends on the specific symptoms being treated, as well as any health conditions you may have, and other medications you may be taking, so it is best to try the one that your doctor has recommended. For example, since Sertraline can cause weight gain, and Fluoxetine(Prozac) usually doesn't, my husband woul...

I have been on Escitalopram 20mg for a little over a year. Now I am tapering off. Cut back to 10mg. My entire body is in pain. I have extreme headaches. I am nauseous and have very little appetite. I am tired, anxious and depressed. Is this normal? Especially the body pain. It's like If I am soar from head to toe. Help? ## Yes, those types of things can happen with such an abrupt lowering of your dosage. Rather than lowering so suddenly by half, usually it's normal to lower it very gradually, while having the person skip doses. What are you taking it to treat? ## Verwon I am taking it for Anxiety and depression. Mainly for depression since I am already taking Klonopin for anxiety.

Would taking two of the IG250 (10mg) escitalopram be okay? What are the side effects of doing so, etc.? I just want to know if this is safe? I've been so much more anxious! ## It can be taken in doses up to 20mgs, but you shouldn't adjust your dosage, without your doctor's approval. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on Excitalopram for about a little over a year. I was feeling tired but I could not sleep at nights or take napes because my mind was thinking and thinking and i was restless and I could not stop shacking my legs because of the restlessness. All this even though I was exercising 5 days a week. I thought I was over doing it but then I took a break for two weeks and it did not help. I felt more anxious and angry as well as mood swings at times. Please help? ## Hello, Bean! How are you? Sometimes these medications can have the opposite of their intended effect in some people that take them. You'll likely need to try a different drug, because if such side effects haven't stopped by now, then they aren't going to. When are you seeing your doctor again to discuss the i...

I started 6weeks ago, for anxiety and depression. Just 5 mg knocked me flat, but after a week i was on 10 mg and able to get out of bed. After another week things had improved all round, and by three weeks i was feeling good, actually happy. I had agreed to stay on this drug for a year or so, but got really pissed off that it prevented me from ever having orgasms, so decided to quit without asking my dr....too embarrassing to explain. Am phasing it out very slowly now because of scary stories, had a couple of bad headaches and brain zaps, but so far better than getting onto it! Will drop from 5 mg to 2.5 for a week next. It sure helped me, but this is all too much drama, next time i will pop a couple of valium rather! ## Don't go off of it my friend without Dr. advice. I was on 10mg...

Hi I've been taking lorazepam for anxiety and major depression for about 2 months. Now my doctor prescribed me escitalopram 10 mg in the morning and 10mg ubanol at night but I still can't sleep. Can I go back to Lorazepam? ## How long have you been taking the new medications? If you abruptly switched from the Lorazepam to the Escitalopram, and Urbanol, you may be dealing with some withdrawal effects, and it could take some time for them to taper off, so you get the full effect of the new medications. Escitalopram may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight changes, according to FDA reports.

Hi all My name is arohi. This massgae is about my mom who is 56 years of age. In 2004 she had lot of body pains and the doctor suggested some MRIs and gave medication like bp tablets, duloxee and escitalent. She has been using these tablets till now (11 years). She feels depressed and nowadays she is being more aggressive, shouting at others and not understanding others, situations. Doctor never says the reason and asks her to continue the same medication. Please suggest what to do? Do I have to discontinue the medicine or consult another Doctor? ## Hello, Arohi! How is your mom doing?
