Hello, I've been taking escitil for 4 months. The doctor increased my dose to two pills a day and I have been experiencing an increase in fatigue for some time now. I've been taking two doses for 2 weeks and it's only now that I'm noticing the problem of fatigue and drowsiness. Is it normal that it took some time for problems to arise?

Side effects of medications can occur both at the beginning and during treatment. It usually takes 2-4 weeks to achieve a therapeutic effect when using Escitil, also when increasing the dose this period of time may be required. Usually, it is during this time that the side effects are most felt. If tiredness and drowsiness persist for more than 4 weeks after increasing the dose, it is worth reporting this to your doctor.
