Anxiety and low mood back

Treatment and medication
1

Hi everyone, I’ve had a bit of a blip and not sure how long it’s going to last.

I’ve been doing really well on 15mg escitalopram for a year and 4months and still taking them. My dr has given me 10mg papronol 3 times a day for some of the physical symptoms, mainly the shaky feelings! They do help but my mood hasn’t, I feel like I’ve lost my get up and go when I was doing ok.  Strangely though I feel better late afternoon/evening. Is any of this similar to anyone else? Would’ve grateful for any thoughts and has anyone else had a blip after quite a while, thanks

Hi Susan,

I've been taking 7.5mg for 12 months and can't get the dose higher because of the side effects.

However I do feel much better in the afternoons to.

Anxiety in the morning, some days worse than others. Then come good in the arvo

Thanks Gina, I think as I’ve felt well for a while I think I’ve just forgotten what it’s like and feel a bit miserable and detached and then it just wears off and I feel better! Anxiety is horrible!

I'm on 10 mgs abd have been for about a month and a half. I only take half a pill at night tho. I feel ok most days but sometimes it's hard to shake these feelings of wanting to stay home and not be out in the world. I have to work tho so it's just not possible.

Hi Kim, it is hard sometimes and we have to push ourselves, think this time of year is depressing too!
