Escitalopram-should I persevere?

[Slimerecipehell]

I’ve been on low dose 5mg for 5 weeks for depression. I’ve done the 2-3 weeks of sickness and my sex drive is back but... I can’t say there’s been a massive change in my mood, I wake up with an aching jaw from being tense in the night and suffering night sweats. Do I persevere for another few weeks and see if things improve, up the dose or try another type of ad?? Anyone had experience of taking these?

5mg is the lowest dose. I was started on 10mg and it was increased to 15mg after 8 weeks because I was still getting bad anxiety.
I've been on 15mg for 14 weeks now. My mood and anxiety are very much improved.
I'm reducing it slowly now because of side effects and have had other therapies which helped.
