Stopping your medication, escitalopram, is highly unlikely to cause localized swelling or hardness in your penis. These symptoms are almost certainly related to the physical friction, minor trauma, or fluid accumulation from the sexual activity itself. There is no need to panic, as this is often a temporary reaction that resolves on its own. For now, avoid further sexual activity to allow the area to heal. If the swelling does not improve within a few days, or if you experience severe pain, difficulty urinating, or skin discoloration, please consult a healthcare provider or a urologist for a proper evaluation.

What precautions should I take while using S Celepra 5 and Petril 0.25 for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, what are the risks of frequently stopping and restarting these medications, and what should I do if Petril is no longer effective for my panic attacks?

While taking escitalopram and clonazepam, avoid alcohol, driving if drowsy, and consult your doctor before taking other medicines. Regularly stopping and restarting these medications can trigger withdrawal symptoms like rebound anxiety, dizziness, and make your condition harder to treat. If clonazepam is no longer managing your panic attacks, please do not increase the dose yourself. Over time, your body can build a tolerance to it. Contact your doctor promptly. They can safely adjust your treatment plan, which may involve optimizing your daily escitalopram dose or discussing therapy to help you manage your symptoms safely.
