I've been on 10mg of escitalopram for a few weeks and last week I was taking them on an empty stomach. I've now begun feeling my anxiety symptoms returning.
Has anyone else felt this? Does taking antidepressants with no food have an effect?
I wouldn't have thought that would be the reason for your anxiety as the medication needs to be in your system for a few weeks to work properly and I think you can take it with or without food (it should be noted on the leaflet).
Do you think something else could have triggered your anxiety?
My mom had to up her dosage... It might help if you have some food in your systom though my mom says it helps... Drink water with it to. 8fluid ounces is suposed to help... Hope i helped! Keep calm
Not eating and drinking can cause anxiety!! I am not on any medication but if I don't eat or drink right I can feel it creeping back up on me!! A few months ago my anxiety was so bad I couldn't eat but after a bit I forced myself and I felt so much better! Get the app 'my fitness pal' you can track your food and drink intake and make sure your having enough. Honestly you'll feel better after!!
