Escitalopram20 taper
Taking meds for 2 years, it helped alot but have side effects. I'm unable to taper to 15 mg, last time when I did for 8 days,I was unable to drive. I had to take 20mg for 2 months to get to functioning. Why is this happening that even 5mg difference making me completely dysfunctional and taking this long to get back to function. Is it normal?

Yes, sometimes even 5mg dosage change can cause such problems. Kindly consider starting therapy along with medicines.
