Has anyone suffered discontinuation symptoms when coming off escitalopram? If so, what were they and how long do they last?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been taking for about a year and accidentally missed a few days because I forgot to collect my prescription. I felt weird and dizzy on the second day, as well as a bit detached and confused. I also had strange twitchy feeling in my head that's quite hard to describe. Symptoms were gone the next day after I'd collected my prescription.

Thanks,....I'm getting that too but lots of other symptoms. I've been tapering from 15mg since October and am down to 2.5mg for three weeks now but it's not easy.
