Hello, What you experienced is most likely an early side effect or anxiety activation after starting Escimed (escitalopram) 5 mg, especially since you have been on Etizolam (Etilaam Pro 20) for a long time. When an SSRI like escitalopram is started, some people feel temporary increase in anxiety, palpitations, sweating, restlessness, or early-morning waking in the first few days. This does not mean the medicine is harming your heart. Etizolam is usually continued initially to control this activation, and symptoms often settle within 5-7 days.

Hi What you experienced after taking escitalopram for the first time sweating, a fast heartbeat, waking up suddenly is a very common early side effect. When the medication begins adjusting your serotonin levels, the body can briefly enter an “activation phase.” It can feel like anxiety or panic, even though nothing dangerous is happening. Because you were already on Etizolam, your body is now noticing sensations more sharply, which makes the spikes feel even scarier. These symptoms usually settle within a few days as your system adjusts. For now, monitor how you feel, avoid Googling symptoms, and allow your body some time to stabilise. In therapy, we would work on managing this fear response, grounding the body, and helping you stay calm during medication transitions so you don’t misinterpret normal side effects as something alarming. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hi.. these symptoms gets reduced with time. Continue taking

Hi, It’s understandable to get worried after starting a new medication. Escimed (escitalopram) can sometimes cause temporary side effects in the first few days, such as increased anxiety, sweating, or a faster heartbeat. These usually settle as your body adjusts.
