I have been on Escitalopram for roughly 3 years.
The side effects for me have been sleeping problems for 3 weeks, then very occasionally since.
Erectile dysfunction for about a month.

After 3 -4 weeks no side effects except the occasional sleepless night and that could be due to other things.

Hope you are coping well.

Maybe they are not suitable for you ( don’t stop taking them until you talk to .gp .

I have been taking these pills since 2008. They have really worked for me and I can’t recall any bad side effects when I started them.
I’ve just been taken off them as they are harder to get hold of by the chemist, (brexit ?) so have been put on a high dose of Citalopram which seems to be doing its job.

Keep at it. X
