Hello
I'm 40 years old. I've been taking escitalopram for 8 years. In August last year, I started taking birth control pills. I didn't notice it right away, but panic attacks started to appear... once in a while. Later in June this year, I put on a hormonal IUD... And it began. Panic attacks, anxieties. feeling bad.
The doctor changed my medication to prefaxine, and in the meantime I removed the IUD.
I took Prefaxine very badly, I went back to escitalopram and everything quickly returned to normal. after 2-3 weeks. And suddenly something strange caught me, for a week I didn't have the strength to do anything, I just slept. Later it passed. Now for 3 days I feel bad again... I have fits of sweat, burning of the body.. like panic attacks. I have states of anxiety, my stomach tightens...
I don't know what to do next. Has this escitalopram stopped working?
Is it not fully operational yet? I've been taking it for about 7 weeks.
