reduction and subsequent increase in escitalopram
Hi, I just found this app today, I'm from Slovakia so the text will be translated by a translator, I need to find answers and I listened to a podcast where they talked about people having similar problems. I'll describe mine to you.
I have been treated for anxiety and panic disorder for 6 years, I experienced various physical manifestations, I was put on Citalec for about 3 years, then mysteriously I have no idea why I don't remember the reason anymore I switched to Escitalopram, everything was relatively fine, minor anxiety could be managed within a few minutes max 2 days, 2.3 I decided that if I felt good in the long term I would gradually reduce it, under the doctor's supervision I went from 10mg to 5mg (yes, now I know that this was an extremely bad approach but I had no idea what I was getting into) 9.3 I got what I call an ocular migraine and aura and since then it has been downhill after a week or two I got derealization and depersonalization so at first I didn't know what it was, only later I looked up the symptoms on the internet, I called the doctor that these conditions were unbearable, she told me to go back to 10mg, 15.4 I went back to 10mg and so far 8.5 I don't feel any relief, my problems are only with vision, then the feeling that I can't focus well on people's shapes, I can't focus well on the phone and actually the whole vision is like I'm drunk, please what to do next? Has this happened to anyone? I'm already desperate, and yes I know that this medicine affects this but this is not life, it's just experiencing, my mind is nonstop from morning to night stuck on the fact that I can't see well. Thanks for the answers.
