Since my brain scan (MRI) was normal, do I still need to see a brain specialist (neurologist) to review the images and confirm if my head shaking is just a side effect of lowering my dose of Rexipra LS?
Yes, it is still highly recommended to see a neurologist. A normal scan rules out structural issues, but a specialist is best equipped to evaluate movement symptoms like head shaking. Rexipra LS contains escitalopram and clonazepam. Reducing the dose, especially of clonazepam, can commonly cause temporary withdrawal symptoms, including tremors or shaking. A neurologist can safely confirm if this is the cause, rule out other factors, and help you manage your dose adjustment comfortably.
