Hey everyone!

Feel blessed to be here and You guys are extremely helpful.

Here’s my story.

I was on 10mg Escitalopram for 1 years, started feeling better with no anxiety after 3 weeks of stating Escitalopram 10 mg but would suffer with horrible side effects like head ache all day, Nasal congestion, blurred vision and. I did my Pill check (DNA testing) and found out that Escitalopram is not suitable and considered as dangerous drug for possible many side effects. Dr advised me to tapper dose to zero and be off of it. Only if needed to go for suitable Anti-anxietydrug.

I started feeling all my symptoms go worst after week of not talking escitalopram. are these really side effects that worst after stopping and how long does it take normally to feel better again?

Heavy head

double vision

Shakes

Dizziness

ear ringing

numbness, tingling and weakness in my hand, legs

Back and neck pain

Dry mouth and dry and painful eyes

The list goes on! Any support or guidance would be appreciated 💕
