took 10mg apo-Escitalopram for 2 times in 3 days, it increased my suicidal thoughts in the second day. I also see images how I killed myself. Due to my serve stomach after taking it, I stopped at the 4th day. The images do not pop up anymore but the suicidal thoughts are still there. After confirmed with a psychiatrist, I might be a very sensitive person to medicine. She switched another type of mental illness medicine to me since my thinking is a bit scrambled, although I know what is reality. I consciously see a evil of me in my mental image. Please discuss carefully with your physician before you take it.

My pharmacy has just switched my escitalopram prescription to the auro generic brand. I have noticed other generic brand replacements for my medications have caused unwanted side effects. Has anyone had issues with the auro escitalopram oxalate 20mg recently in 2018 or 2017?

Misty., Withdrawal from my experience only, can last up to 2 to 3 weeks. I came off my antidepressant called Trintillex too fast,and had terrible side effects. Just try and hang in there. And definitely find yourself a doctor that can put you in a good place keep positive. Good luck.
