Hi,

I was on 15 mg. escitalopram for 6 months and stopped a year ago because i had developed a weird skin sideeffect. My skin was all of a sudden much more loose and stretchy despite me not loosing any weight for the past 8 years. I'm naturally really slim (178 cm and 58kg), I work out and eat a healthy diet and i've always had tight skin. Now i can drag my skin far out on both my stomach my thighs, my arms and my neck and it is much more loose. When i showed my doctor she had me cheked for Ehlers Danlos which it was concluded that i don't have, but now i'm left with no knowledge on what has happened and no knowledge on what to do.

I was wondering if anyone else have experienced this?

Best regards

Sofie
