Been on 20mg of escitalopram for 3 weeks

Posted , 2 users are following.

So been on 10mg of escitalopram for 5 weeks and then upped to 20mg for 3 weeks. Have been feeling ok but have just been feeling I don't know how to explain it jittery/ tingly. It kind of feels like I'm going to have a seizure. Just want to know if anyone else has felt like this?

    Your GP has upped your dose of your medication, this is normal practice and it may take time to reach the proposed  new level of this drug. give it a little bit more time.

    You can confirm how the drug works by an explanations sheet in the medication box. I am going through side effects of a new medication and I can understand things may not feel wright  Give time, hopefully you will get the full benefit of your medication. If your GP felt you were doing well on the lower dose trust him and move on

      Thanks for your reply Bob!

      Yes definitely trust my doctor and I suppose nothing has happened so far so if it was going to happen it would of already happened. Just my mind trying to read too much in to it I guess.

      Hope your going well and thanks again for the reply

      Feeling tired today for some reason, I have a great deal to do and no incentive to do it  Have been watching the Stoat stalking the birds nesting in the hedges  He is having no luck, it is the eggs He will be after.
