At the beginning I was taking 5 mg a day. But my depression got worse. So the psychiatrist increased the dose to 10 mg a day. Depression got even worse. I really had the feeling that the escitalopram was making it worse. The specialist disagreed with me and increased it even more to 15 mg a day. On 15 mg a day my life was unbearable. I didn't want to exist any more, wanted to throw myself out of the window… Became suicidal. After that I stopped escitalopram. I started to feel better again really quickly .
