Day 2 on escitalapram

Treatment and medication
1

Hey all,

Just started on escitalapram 10mg. This is my second day and so far so good. Have had many bouts of anxiety sitting in my chest a bit of numbness in some areas like face and arms on and off but once I reassure myself it's the tablets they subside. A bit of tiredness and a meh feeling but I do actually feel a bit more relaxed being a bit meh at the moment!

This is my second time going on ssri's for my anxiety but I was on citalapram the first time. The doctor prescribe the escitalapram this time around as it had fewer side effects. Just finally happy to start my road to recovery before I get worse!

sounds like you have made a positive start and are taking it in your stride.  the first week was definately the worst for me, but just taking one day at a time is good advice.

Good luck. xx
