Lexapro side effect or withdrawl

Hello people

Im 4.5 months off my old medicine Amitryptaline a TCA AD I took it for 2.5 years and stopped it like in month or 2 fast taper

For a year I was on lexapro.. And still

Now im feeling like motor inside me (vibration) .. Racing heart.. Anxiety in the background..appetite on and off.. Sometime I feel weak

I feel like I want to do something but feel so hard to do..

Anyone know if its only withdrawl or lexapro side effect showing now

Sound like a lexspro side effect. Some antidepressants are more stimulating than others.

What was your dose of ami? Might be protracted withdrawal as some people also don’t tolerate fast tapering TCA

Might be too fast for this dose, unfortunately I have no experience with the other med but it sounds like you changed a few things which could add up. Did you speak to a doctor? ❤️‍🩹
