To rkjb1951. Do you mean escitalopram? If you’re taking escalopram you probably should stop it. It is not FDA approved, nor does it appear to be approved for use in the U.S.
Don’t take my word. Send a brief email to druginfo (at)fda.hhs.gov describing your symptoms, the drug, your prescriber & pharmacy. If that seems overboard, you are the one suffering. I also would mention the generic “Ziff” as well. I’ve only heard of “Zif-8” (but what do I know?) which derives from a metal and is used to enhance drug delivery to your system. To submit a report about an adverse drug reaction: 1-800-FDA-1088. An online complaint form is not hard to Google.
Side-effects of unusual or uncommon severity or lengthiness may be reported. FDA advises one, if possible, to save a sample of the drug in question. For a paper form, download FDA 3500B.
