Hello! I‘ve been taking escitalopram 5mg for anxiety for 15 days now. At first my anxiety increased but now its a little better, however i‘m experiencing dizziness! Prior to this I also experienced dizziness because of anxiety (a little vertigo really) and that was my main concern! And now I‘m still experiencing dizziness and my head feels weird and I don‘t know if its because I still have anxiety or its a side effect since it gets worse when I take the pill at night! Also my sleep is still not 100% like it used to be before I started to have problems witj anxiety. Therefor I wanted to know if someone has taken antidepressants and if the side effects eventually stop? And when did you start to feel like your normal self on them or saw great improvements? I‘m afraid I will feel ill for the rest of my life and I‘ll never be able to feel like my „normal“ self again😭. I also go to therapy, meditate, etc...
Hi anakruyff yes it’s the side effects of the meds, they will settle down in the next couple of weeks. They take about 4 weeks or so to get into your system x
Sameeeeee hey listen the thing is I somewhat have gotten better but the symptoms are still there and the withdrawal sucks too
