Brief Answer:
Panic disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The condition that you are having is basically panic attacks. This is a disorder of anxiety and occurs cause of imbalance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. especially serotonin, nor adrenaline, and dopamine to some extent. Medicines are the best options to take care of these symptoms. Paroxetine is the the most popular medicine and my drug of choice. I generally prescribe my patients 12.5 mg per day at night which takes care of anxiety symptoms. Also certain medicines like propranolol and clonazepam can be give as required when there is a panic episode or expected situation where panic attack can appear.
You are on escitalopram and you may continue this medicine for a few weeks until the benefits will become apparent.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
It takes time to show response. Give it some time. Escitalopram will never lead to any major/serious side-effects as it is a very safe medication. Try it ones more and if you have similar problem then you may opt for paroxetine instead.
