Hello,
These are Side effects of LEXAMIL ( ESCITALOPRAM ).
This is always a problem with all these anti depressant medicines.
It is lays be to cope with our anxiety and depression by doing regular exercises,yoga,deep breathing exercises and prananayama.
Consult your doctor and quit the medicine but by slowly decreasing the dose otherwise you will develop unpleasant withdrwal symptoms.Reduce your dose 10% every 10 days and ypu should be able yo come out of it.
