Escitalopram
generalized anxiety disorde
"I was on this med for 5 days and decided to stop. I was feeling worse than ever - dopey, sick and with terrible headaches....have been off for 4 days and feel better for it. Have decided to try other ways to sort out my anxiety/body pains rather then being drugged to the eyeballs. I could have given it a bit longer but my gut feeling is this drug (like most other SSRIs) just masks the problem. Am now trying Claire Weekes book "Hope and Help for your Nerves" to get to the bottom of my anxiety. I feel really hopeful, as, deep down, I know it's just my thoughts that are causing my problems. If I can rid myself of anxiety, then my body pains should disappear. Here's hoping."
