hi, been on celexa for about 15mg for about 8 weeks. before starting I lost some weight along with some muscle I think through anxiety/depression. i have since gained most of the weight back, but I have been feeling fatigued, and kinda light. i don’t know is the medicine or just in my head. my doctor is also testing me for a bacterial infection. has anyone had this feeling?
William,
I know what you mean, I get general weakness/dizziness every now and then, and I have been on celexa for almost 2 years. For me it helps to change my diet to something more nutrient rich, I did some reading about how the microbiome in your stomach can affect anxiety. Plus, it just makes me feel better to eat healthy and exercise, like I am making my body stronger.
Best of luck to you,
Jillian
HI william. I have light head nearly every day, and I am not on A/Ds…I take xanax 0.25 as needed…usually 3 times daily…anxiety can cause light head, also nausea, blurry vision, and weakness…I have them all…sometimes my balance goes, and I have to ly down…all my bloods, are normal, and my heart is good, my DR says its anxiety…I have been living with this for nearly 30 years…and it still scares the life out me…just saying, it might not be your meds…it could be an anxiety symptom…I also lost weight. as when anxiety is high. my stomach closes. and I cant eat…OH the joys…x
yeah my psychiatrist told me they are physical symptoms of anixety. not really the medicine. so annoying
