I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. Based on current evidence, there is no clear proof that SSRI withdrawal directly causes MCAS or histamine intolerance. Since you're experiencing reactions to multiple foods and medications, it's important to have a thorough evaluation by an allergist/immunologist with expertise in mast cell disorders to establish the correct diagnosis. Management depends on the underlying cause and may involve treatments beyond antihistamines in selected cases. Until then, avoid restarting or changing medications on your own, and continue to work closely with your healthcare team. The reason for why Escitalopram was started needs history to clarify and may be alternative plans can work - please consult your psychiatrist as well.
