A member asked:
Would 2.5mg of escitalopram work for panic disorder? if not, can i quit cold turkey safely on this dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is a low dose and may not be effective for anxiety or panic disorder. Nevertheless I recommend tapering off it with the supervision of your prescribing physician if he/she agrees it's OK to gradually come off it. I don't know your status enough to fully advise you.
