"pretty sure i&#039;ve had an anxiety issue my entire life. i&#039;m in my late 20s and it was starting to affect my job. been on escitalopram 10mg for 6 weeks and have not once felt like i was going to have a heart attack. i take it at night. first week i had every side effect listed. my jaw clenched for probably 3 weeks. i feel like i&#039;m able to focus more and don&#039;t feel as flustered all the time. i also dont feel like im crawling out of skin when surrounded by large amounts of people. things seem okay for now."
