i had been taking nexito10 iregularly last 9 year.my usage are half or quarter portion of the tablet.i have no idea how can i stop this usage. can you help me ? ## Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, this is an SSRI antidepressant. Are you taking them by prescription and under a doctors care? These types of antidepressants can be very hard to stop taking, because since they do alter your brain chemicals, they can cause withdrawal effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, irritability and dizziness. To stop their use normally requires a very slow, medically supervised taper and this site is not medical professionals. Have you tried speaking with your doctor? ## You should check with your doc and if asked to continue, use regularly, for me it seems like I can never stop it as ...

I was taking Nexito Plus for the last 4 years. Three months ago I stopped taking it as I felt some side effects like nausea, drowsiness,dry mouth in the morning,and I gained weight, was feeling hungry. Life became more passive. I changed my dietary system, started doing exercise, eating healthy food, controlled my anxiety. I made a complete change in the life pattern .It's a miracle.I feel much better. Don't stop taking this medicine until you cannot do the things I am doing. ## Wonderful! Thanks for your post and I am glad you are doing so well, without the medication, now. Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitlopram and it can cause those side effects in some people, however, not everyone cans successfully go off of it, some people will require life-long medications, if ...

I have been using nexito 5mg for a long time (8 months). Each time I try to discard it I am getting severe side effects. I don't get sleep at night. I am having horrible dreams. I am unable to get out of this dosage. I am not feeling any depression symptoms but bad sleeping patterns. How can I get off of this nexito 5? ## Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, this is an SSRI antidepressant. And experiencing some withdrawal effects is normal if you try to suddenly stop taking these medications. After a few days of not taking it, you may even start to experience a rebound effect, which would be worsening of the depression symptoms that you were taking it for. Normally these medications must be slowly tapered to prevent the worse of these problems. Have you spoken to your...

My husband cought attack of anxiety in 2009. That time dr prescribed Nexito LS since he is taking every night half tab. But now he want stop I can't he feels uneasyness pls suggest ## Hello, Anita! How is your husband doing? If he has been taking it for years, then it would be normal to have withdrawal effects, if he tries to stop suddenly. A slow tapering is usually best, to prevent him from feeling the withdrawal symptoms. Has he consulted his doctor? They should be able to help him set up a good and safe tapering schedule. Usually, the modern method is to have the person start skipping days, like taking it every other day for a week, then skipping every 2 days and so on.

p0ls help how to prevent myself from side effects of nexito 10 ## Nexito contains the active ingredient Esctalopram, which is an SSRi antidepressant and there really isn't any way to avoid most side effects, they will happen, if they are going to happen. Some of them, such as nausea and dizziness may be prevented by making sure you don't take it on an empty stomach. However, if you experience others, they will usually just wear off with time, as your body gets used to the medication. Learn more Escitalopram details here. Are there any other questions? ## Is there any problems after stopping of taking medicine ## i took nexito two years back for a period of 3 months. at that time i have suffered from continous yarning(20 times) and i feel sleepy not able to concenttrate on studie...

I was taking nexitoplus for one year. I stoped it in december. After two months I got pregnant in february. Will it affect baby? ## No, potential problems will only occur if you take it while you are pregnant, according to NIH reports. The active ingredient in this medication has been known to cause adverse effects on a baby, but only if taken while a woman is pregnant. Are you on any other medications? Congratulations on the baby!

I am taking everyday. sometime, when I stopped taking this medicine I really feel very uncomfortable. How can I stopped taking this medicine. It's almost more then one year, when I started taking this medicine. ## Have you consulted your doctor? Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant. When you have been taking them for a long period of time, you will usually require a slow taper, to stop, because a sudden cessation can cause withdrawal effects and rebound symptoms, such as what you experienced, because of their effects on brain chemicals. ## hi, io started taking 5mg three weeks back and then was adviced by a docotor to increase the dosage to 10 mg after 2 weeks which i did so too but there was no effect in my health.

I have been taking Nexito 10mg from past 13 months. Now have stopped the same from past 3 weeks but have symptoms like Dizziness, Body Ache, Muscle pain especially in thigh and calf muscle. Are these the withdrawal symptoms and appreciate if you can advise as to how long these will persist. Is it advisable to take any medicine to stop these symptoms or will it go naturally. I am ready to wait and undergo these pain as I do not want to take Nexito 10 mg as there seems lots of ill effects of these tablets. In fact this tablet was suggested to me as general medicine and I do not have any depression issues ## If you were taking it for that long and then stopped cold turkey, yes withdrawal effects can be normal and they should stop on their own, with time. Taking other medications to try to ...
