"i am on day 2 of 20 mg escitalopram and this is my first time taking any kind of ssri. the first day i got really sleepy and felt kind of numb. also extremely nauseous and a little loss of appetite. today(day 2) i didn&#039;t get sleepy right away after taking the pill and i am not as nauseous. oh i have been yawning a lot. i have generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety. overall it isn&#039;t bad so far."
