Has anyone trued escitalopram seems to be slightly better more refined version of citalopram. Says with less side effects?
please be careful lemanna, i thought you had been told that ssris were no good for zopiclone withdrawal.
It’s for the OCD it’s crippling at the moment. Read an article about lady on TV developed OCD as result taking sleeping pills then had adverse reaction to an anti depressant which sent it out of control which resonated with what happened to me. As it’'s since taking the sertraline I developed it. She’s ok now after therapy and on low dose AD? Saw a psych but he put me n on high dose SNRI only lasted few days made me feel spaced out nauseous insomnia. Was benzo helpline advised against them but they are anti any drugs
HI lemanna, have been on escitalopram since the beginning of october, started on 5mg for eight weeks then upped to ten, have felt the best for two plus years on them.
i wish you luck with whatever you decide x
Thanks think might try the citalopram again starting on 5mg as apart from it affecting my hair was OK on that. Got an appt with a therapist so hopefully might help. The psychiatrist just seemed want put me on high dose something for quick fix which I really can’t tolerate. Just seems difficul finding someone who can actually help you!!!
tbh from everything ive read and personal experience i dont think any professional knows enough about these drugs we are like lab rats!
Just seems wack you on anything hope for the best is what they do. The psych tried label me as having GAD when it’s zopiclone withdrawal and possible withdrawal from mixing AD that GP encouraged me to do. Giving up hope ever improving at moment.
i know that feeling, my vitamin d is so low ive been trying vitamin d but its making me terribly ill ![]()
