I have to start taking escitalopram today as I made a promise to start my medication. I'm already stressing out about this and already had a migraine too with the worry over these tablets. Im scared they will make me really ill or turn me into a zombie as there is loads if side effects with them. I haven't slept much all night and I'm breaking out in sweats too.

I take Citalopram Dianne and wish it would turn me into a Zombie at times! It won't do that, just provide a few chemicals that you are short of at the moment. You probably won't even notice any difference at all. I just wish they would make a magic pill....I would have the lot!! x
