Can Nexito withdrawal cause any abnormal symptoms?
human
I am using Tab. Nexito (escitalopram) 5 mg once a day in the morning for last 10 years as per advice from my psychiatrist. Now I am fed up and want to get rid of it. I have tried many times but am afraid of stopping it and any abnormal symptom as slight insomnia, irritability, I attach it to Nexito withdrawal. Otherwise I am having good relief from it. Pl. advice.

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Nexito or Escitalopram is a selective serotonin (5HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and anti depressant. Sudden withdrawal do causes some withdrawal symptoms and therefore you need to taper it. Talk to your doctor to taper it off and stop it in long run. Please do not take self decisions.You can post a direct question to me in this website. Include every detail as much as you can. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques to control your condition. I am sure that the techniques should be a success.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.
