Hi i was wondering of anybody takes Escitalopram for depression , i was on 20mg a day for my depression / anxiety i went to my docs today to collect a repeat percription of them and was shocked to be told i had to stop taking them straight the way ,
The doctor said to me i am to stop taking them imediatly due do ' somthings been happening to patients ' he didnt really make sense, or give me a valid explanation as to why they so drastically have stoped perscribing them , it seemed that it was very urgent as my doc didnt even tell me to ween off them over a due time .
Hes given me just the citalopram brand, but i am a little alarmed as to what the reason is for this medicine being discontinued at my practice anyway ,
just wondering if anybody else has been told this? and if so what the exact reason is as i find it a little distressing
thanks everybody
sarah
