Update. Day 16 off escitalopram (was a 5 mg/day for about 3 weeks before discontinuing, down from 20 mg/day over a month and a half) and have been titrating up on zoloft since discontinuing the escitalopram. My psych wants me to titrate up to 150 mg/day zoloft and thinks that I might have came off the escitalopram too quickly. My biggest thing right now is anxiety which I have been trying to deal with using clonazepam (0.25 mg as needed), but I am worried that I will end up having to take too much during this transition and become dependent. I am currently using 4 x 0.25 mg clonazepam a day which only has a mild effect for my level of anxiety - I don't want to suffer. Been trying to keep busy and force myself to eat, but often I feel sick and bedridden. I am currently experiencing which may be due to discontinuation of the escitalopram and titrating up on zoloft, is: insomnia, weight loss, anxiety attacks, nausea, loss of appetite, some headaches. Hopefully the zoloft works for me.
