@rattahk , mixtures of medications can produce difficulties in how they interact with each other and how you might feel in making a switch, at least that has been my experience. How this all resolves itself will depend upon how you process the changes physically and mentally, and that indeed can take time. If it was myself, I would prefer to wait until things settled down a bit more before considering a change in my medication, and I guess that is somewhat in line with how you feel about the escitalopram. As long as you and your physician are comfortable with that plan, and your opinion does count, you can likely stay the course until you are back on track with how you feel, including how you are able to sleep. Perhaps you are going through some issues with coming off the lorazepam faster than your body can handle, I don't know, but it's worth asking about as far as your symptoms. I have been having my own issues with reducing my gabapentin from my current dosage, so I can understand a bit what you are going through. Let us know how things turn out.
