Is it safe that I stopped taking Nexito 5mg for a month after getting the COVID-19 vaccine, could this harm me, and should I start taking it again?

Asked by Female, 32 · 14 hours ago

Stopping Nexito (escitalopram) abruptly can sometimes cause mild discontinuation symptoms, but since it has been a month, any immediate physical risk has likely passed. There is no harmful interaction between the COVID-19 vaccine and escitalopram, so stopping it was not medically necessary. However, pausing your treatment might cause your original symptoms to return. Please do not restart Nexito on your own. It is best to consult your doctor to discuss how you are feeling and to safely decide whether you should restart your medication.
