escitalopram oxalate (15mg) for anxiety & panic disorder
Have used this medicine with great satisfaction over many years, no side effects, no weight gain and I enjoy life in general. At this moment however I experience problems in my joints. My GP wants to further examine these problems and even links it to my medicine use. I can’t find any experiences of other users having similar problems. My GP thinks it’s probably not the cause of my severe probl...
