Hello, and thanks for your question.
This can sometimes happen with escitalopram. Once you stop taking the drug, this side effect will stop completely within about 3 days as the drug clears from your system. I would encourage you to work with your doctor to find a different medication to replace escitalopram with before stopping it completely.
