Antidepressants hormonal effect

[nuclear]

I've recently stopped taking an SSRI (escitalopram) and have since noticed high estrogen symptoms. Is there any evidence and/or experience that this drug or dru class can effect estrogen levels or estrogen response?

Yes they can really mess you up. Antidepressant are associated with sexual dysfunction.

Can you put your comment in context? Remind us if you are on a TRT protocol - if so, the details? The timeline for the presentation of the symptoms that prompted the post would be helpful, as would any recent bloodwork. I know, in my own case and from what is posted here regularly, that high and low estradiol symptoms can be very hard to distinguish from one another.

Hope pe you'll get back to us.
