Tiredness
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm on 5mg escitalopram, seeing doctor later to see if I can increase to 10mg but whilst I feel like the 5 isn't enough as I feel shaky, poor appetite and so so tired! Are these signs I need to up my dose?
Any help gratefully received!

if you have only just started on this medication, these initial startup side effects are quite normal and will ease soon

Thankyou Sparrow, I'm on day 28 so nearly a month and yes I do feel like if you are withdrawing as I can't level out! I feel like I'm on a roller coaster, I'm hoping I won't get too bad side effects but I definitely feel like 5mg is not enough. Thankyou for replying

Hi Doug, I've just got back from docs and she has upped me from 5 to 10mg escitalopram but has suggested trying 5 in morning and 5 at night to help with my morning anxiety so will try and hope it works! Could you try that?
