Escitalopram - How long does it take for anxiety and panic attacks to go away it’s been 24 days on

Hi,

Everyone is different, it is hard to say, it varies from one person to another as everyone reacts to everything differently in life, specially medications.
I believe you should be getting some relief by now, for full therapeutic benefits it may take from 4 to 6 to 8 weeks max depending on your organism and how it assimilates and absorbs the drug.
You are on a low dose, I believe you should discuss, after being on it for 3 weeks of 5mgs. a dose increase to 10mgs..

Talk to your Dr..

Hi, Enzo!
Some people might see some indications of improvement in the first few weeks but it can take 6-8 weeks or longer to feel the full benefits of the medication. . Anxiety disorders are much more difficult to treat than other mental issues like depression.
You were started on a low initial dose so you may need an increase. This is common and "normal". You might give your doctor a progress report (or lack of progress) and see what they think.
