Thinking starting escitalopram

Posted , 4 users are following.

Have developed anxiety and OCD and intrusive thoughts as result been made go cold turkey off zopiclone in Jan last year. Tried sertraline & citalopram didnt help much. Saw psychiatrist just put me on duloxetine but much too strong can't take side effects keep feeling like going pass out. Thinking trying liw dose escitalopram has anyone had success with it. Seems be more refined version of citalopram?

    Hi Lemanna, You are not alone. Everyone is in the same boat.We are praying that this crisis will turn around and get back to normal. There has been some updates.They have a test that can detect the virus in 10 min. and starting this week ,the test will be available for testing people. Anti- mylaria drug has shown positive results,hospitals will start the drug also this week. Infection disease doctors say that most people that test positive will have mild to moderate symptons and do well. We must stay positive. Keeping our distance and staying home. Hope your therapist gives you some good advice that will help you.Continue to stay in touch with your therapist for they are trained to help and guide you.God Bless. Pam.

      If skype doesnt work again will have to wait until things improve with regards to therapy. Must admit havent read too much about it all media over here tend to dwell on scaremongering focus on people seriously ill or who have died. Hope you are OK matt and you qualify for payment for the self employed although seems thet dont pay out until june!!!!
