A member asked:
I have been taking escitalopram(feliz-s) 10 mg for about a week and i'm starting to have difficulty breathing. should i stop my medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and be seen now: Any new symptom in the setting of a new medicine should raise the possibility of an allergy. Not breathing well is a scary and serious problem. Please be seen right away as other things can cause it. As you have only been on the medicine for a week, it is likely safe to stop now, but talk with the physician immediately.
