Anxiety
"I&#039;ve struggled with anxiety and panic attacks since I was about 20. I&#039;m 31 now and it flared up again this year, so I started on 5mg of escitalopram after seeing my doctor. The first few weeks were really hard. I felt sick and had no appetite at all - great for weight loss! But not very nice feeling so nauseous. I also felt much much more anxious, really horribly panicky at times, I felt quite desperate. I&#039;d say it took 3-4 weeks to subside and since then I&#039;ve felt so so much better. I&#039;m calmer and more positive and less plagued by anxious thoughts all the time. I just feel like me again. It&#039;s quite an incredible medication &amp; I&#039;m so grateful that its there &amp; it works. The first few weeks are really hard but it&#039;s so worth sticking with it!"
