Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Nexito

Dear Doctor, in April 2015 since i was getting iiritated and anniyed easily I visted a psychitric doctor who mentioned that I was suffering from depression. He prescribed Nexito 10 and asked me to see him monthly and continued to prescribe nexito. Last month my doctor said since I have recovered sufficiently I can start the tailing off process and start taking Nexito 5 for 2 weeks and then take a half a nexito 5 for another 2 weeks and stop totally taking medication as i was taking nexito i felt completely ok. Now as I am completely off it I sometimes occasionall get irritated and feel a bit stressed out. I am wondering if it is cos I have got addicted to Nexito and now getting irritated and stressed as I dont take it anymore. I am also worried if there are any side effects of taking Nexito for the last 1.5 years. Appreciate your response and advice

Hi,

Nexito is escitalopram (SSRI). Main side effects are nausea, stomach upset, low sexual desire, difficulty in sleep. as you stopped Nexito, no need to worry, you should start exercise and diet plan...you can do some yoga... try to overcome your stress.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajshree Agrawal, General & Family Physician
