I did read a study that said the mechanism of Citalopram was slightly different than the others so I assume Escitalopram is similar. Im not expert though. The long term effects of these things are only just being known really. and they are handed out like sweets (at lease here in the UK).

"They always seemed to come back 100 percent, but not this time with escitalopram."

I'm with you 100%. A couple of weeks after stopping all other SSRIs everything was back to normal. With escitalopram it was worse.

Don't lose hope - people are working on this

Thanks for your thoughts. To be honest I had also had a drink so no doubt that made it worse...been off for about 4 days now and don't feel too good. Dont know what to try next, perhaps that Parkinsons drug. I dunno if there really is any point.

So you think it is non permanent? I read the thread but didn't really get an answer to that..

Hi flexstar13 Thanks for your reply. At neally 3 weeks I have stopped the wellbutrin. I woke up last night feeling like I was on a flight somewhere...hearing bad and ringing in the ears. Looked it up and plenty of people say wellbutrin has caused permanent hearing damage!! I have no idea how much of...

I have raken many SSRIs but escitalopram caused the PSSD. I think it ma6 have a unique mechanism of action.

Hi All. For anyone who had had some sucsess with Wellbutrin can you please tell me if it needed weeks to work? I fully realise that with most medication like this the positive effects can take weeks but is that also true of the libedo effect? Been on 150mg now for 2 weeks. Apart from the groggy head...

Thanks for this. I have PSSD from escitalopram and have tried countless suplements that people have mentioned; with no sucsess. Do you have a reccomendation based on your idea of what is happening?
