Hi, so I've been on Escitalopram for a couple of months at 10mg. Due to some side effects I decided to stop. My GP said I could just stop overnight from 10mg as it's the lowest dose but I've noticed a few people on here saying they tappered down slower by snapping the tablet etc. I'm worried maybe I came off too fast (or perhaps this is totally normal for some?) as it's been a week and I still feel like I've been hit by a bus. Literally. I'm aching all over, muscle pains, feel like I've done a two hour stint at the gym. Exhausted. Electric shocks through my body when I move. Emotional. Has anyone else had anything like this?? I know we are all diferent and many will come off these with ease, but knowing I just need to know how long I'll be like this for?

I'm going through the same now. Hope you're OK now?
