Escitalopram

[frifranlivet]

Has anyone taken escitalopram and if so how long did it take until you felt better? I started two days ago and I've never felt this shit

I took it a few years ago and, according to the package insert, it takes about 2~4 weeks to work. I didn't feel better using it, but I hope it helps you.

It should take a couple of weeks until it will unfold it's effect. Don't lose hope if it doesn't get better immediately. If it truly doesn't get better, ask your physician for a prescription for a different antidepressant, there a plenty of them and everybody reacts differently to them. I hope you'll get better!
That you don't feel well in the beginning is normal, it happend to me too. It felt kind of like I could not relax anymore, but it went away after a week or so.

If by "felt better" you mean gaining 25kg of bloat and being seconds away from killing my entire family, then about 6 months.

I will give it a chance, I ordered SN yesterday just in case, but I'll see in a few weeks what I'm going to do
