Hello,
As per the information provided by you, you had been on Tab Escitalopram 15mg for one month and then you stopped it abruptly.
The symptoms that you are having can be because of withdrawal of medicines as flu like symptoms are frequently seen in SSRI discontinuation syndrome.
It is also likely that your anxiety has appeared again after stopping medicines.
Next Steps
You should consult the psychiatrist as soon as possible to manage these symptoms.
