Depression
"I started on 5mg and my doctor just moved me up to 30 today  (an increase over about 8 months).  Every time I start a new dosage, I feel amazing for a few weeks, like a new person, and then it slowly fades off.  Both my doctor and psychiatrist say this medicine will work well for me, we just need to find the exact right dosage for me.  My mom is on 20mg twice a day, has been for 10+ years, and it completely changed her life too.

With other meds I tried, had severe nausea, diarrhea, headaches, etc.  With every dose increase of escitalopram I had some &#039;chronic yawning&#039; for a week or so which was annoying, and I still have pretty bad restless leg syndrome most nights.  Weird and annoying symptoms,but I&#039;m happy to deal with them for the results"
