I had a bad time with escitalopram and the prescribing doctor was doing a terrible job of supervising how I was responding to meds.
He kept incresing the dose to ever-worsening side effects to the point that I suspect I had a mixed manic state or that something really screwy was going on.
Got to the point where I couldn't bear the thought of another day on it so I stopped cold turkey because the doctor wasn't listening to my issues with it.
It was a long time ago but I had about a week of the most intense brain zaps and then a very, very long time of them gradually reducing. Even the slightest movement of my eyes would bring on another attack. I imagine that's what torture must feel like.
Don't do what I did.
