My head HURTS
| Wed, 04-27-2005 - 10:44am |
I started lexapro 6 days ago, I just increased to 10mg 2 night ago.
Today I am still feeling out of it (as I have for a week) but my head feels SO BIG and I feel so dizzy and out of it.
HAs anyone felt this way?

Jan,
Thank you for your help. You and everyone else has been such a great help.
I just have on more question (for now..lol)
You said that you get that unreal feeling, I have had that too, Pretty much for a whole, with the exception of a few breaks. My therapist says this is normal but I am SCARED! This is the worst feeling ever. I'm having a hard time understanding that meds will make this better.
Did you have this in the begining ?
Heather
Jan,
Thank you so much.
I called my Dr. and the nurse sasid that I can go in and see the Dr. The problem is that
I'm not comfortable leaving the house until I have this under control. She said that it could just be the meds kicking in.
I have tinges of feeling a bit peaceful, then I fall back into that awful feeling. When the meds work is it a gradual feeling?
I have the best support system. My dh has been so wonderful. If nothing else I know just how much he loves me.
Thank again,
heather
Heather,
I absolutely had that in the beginning and, for me, the medication made it worse for the first couple of weeks each time I increased the dosage. A friend of mine who knew about what was going on with me was actually able to tell when I had increased my meds without me telling her because the unreality and fogginess made me spaced-out.
It did get better. It still happens occasionally and I try to do something that makes me feel grounded like cleaning or, if I can leave the house, shopping.
