Nexito (escitalopram) normalises the serotonin levels (transmission) in your mind (brain). If you stop and get the symptoms back, it implies the serotonin produced in your mind is less and you need to continue the medication for long time. There are many having similar symptoms like yours. Do not have stigma about taking the medication, Good luck.

Dear Karthic, You need not stop nexito ls till you learn a non medical method of managing your anxiety. Go for therapy or relaxation. It may take 5-6 months. Then you can stop nexito. You may need to go for a revision of your diagnosis. Anxiety may be due to some other medical, hormonal or mental disorders.
