I have been on it for 10 years. I really think this is the Escitalopram causing this because it woke me up at 4:30 this morning and I got on my couch and played on my phone and turned on the TV and it went it went away.
I don't want to add any other medicines until I am stable again. The bad thing is with these SSRI's they increase anxiety until they kick in.
I am telling my Dr today that I will stay and 20 mgs and maybe ask about an increase in the Clonazepam just until this mess settles back down.
It's more likely the Escitalopram - I had to switch off that for similar reasons- yes take notes in with to the psychiatrist and share symptoms. Lexapro might also need to be raised so you don't feel as anxious. Sending good thoughts
