Dear user. Thanks for the question. Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a group of symptoms that may occur following use of certain serotonergic medications or drugs. The degree of symptoms can range from mild to severe. Symptoms include high body temperature, agitation, increased reflexes, tremor, sweating, dilated pupils, and diarrhea. Talk to your psychiatrist. Take care.

Hi, yes, you can continue to take it. Studies have shown that it is safe to take in pregnancy. If you continue to take in the last few week of pregnancy then the baby should be observed for symptoms like irritability, increased muscle tone and increased crying after birth.

The minimum duration of treatment for depression is 9 months. You should continue medication for 4 more months, then ask your doctor for tapering. Your medication will be tapered only if your symptoms are improved. No patient should taper the dose without the advise of the doctor.

Please continue medication, along with cognitive behavioral therapy to prevent recurrence of depression.

Irregular medication and under dose may leads to recurrence of symptoms so be cautious

Better to reduce with the help of natural food. Take regular meal at every 2 hourly. Medicines always contain some preservatives

Dear Jayakrishnan,
You need to consult your doctor not only for anxiety, but also for delayed ejacualtion problem. It needs a detailed work up. Escitalopram causes few sexual problem - but mostly it is like erection difficulty.

Dear
it is good that you want to go off medication. Best thing to do is to slowly gradually reduce same medicine instead of replacing it with another. At the same time, build your inner immunity with capsule Reimmugen (colostrum) whcih is a natural product and it will help you overcome the side effects, modulate immunity and also give you the physical strength required to become healthier. Start meditation to further strength mental and emotional state.
Regrds.

The dose needs to be tapered and changed. There are effective alternatives to escitalopram. Consult any psychiatrist in person or online and based on the evaluation, alternates can be suggested. Good luck.

More than considering your dosage and lowering it, I suggest that you seek the help of a counselor and develop some skills and tools to tackle life under your condition. The medication is very suitable for you but you are not developing any life skills which are essential to the reduction of medication. Anxiety has all to do with fear and your inability (or so you would tend to think) to handle the same. Fear is based on looking too much into the future and imagining things that usually do not t...more
