I started taking escitalopram 5mg last Saturday to help treat anxiety. It has worked remarkably well so far. But I’ve noticed my chest becoming progressively worse this week, with my peak flow being at 375/350 and I can’t get it to budge. Normally it’s 400/410.
I read that serotonin can cause bronchoconstriction. But don’t see SSRI’s as being contra-indicated for asthma.
Wondering if anyone else has found their SSRI made their asthma worse? Or maybe it’s a co-incidence.
