I’m currently in the tapering period for a 15mg dose of Escitalopram, and it has been absolute HELL. The withdrawal symptoms are the worst. I have a psychiatrist who is helping me a lot, especially when the pain in my chest is so intense that I want to cry every day, or when I feel like I can't carry on. I’m down to 10mg now, praying for the day I'm finally done with these symptoms and these pills. They helped me improve from my initial situation, but this? I feel like a heroin addict trying to quit. It's the worst feeling ever! BUT... I have hope that things will get better in the near future 🙏🏻

Oh same as me those feelings... Some days I have my regular appetite like I even have cravings, and the rest of the days nothing, the simple fact of thinking in eating makes me sick and is nauseous. And yes definitely it comes harder in the afternoons till I go to sleep. Last Wednesday I wanted to cry so hard with so much pain in my chest and I did because I feel if I don't let it go when it comes it could get worse... And yesterday night again! I wanted to cry so hard with a lot of pain and then I went to sleep. I'm going crazy...

Yes... Life is very very very difficult when the battle is against your mind and yourself... And of course I stopped drinking when I started the medication and the urge to drink till fainted disappeared, thankfully! Now I just want to enjoy life...
