Dizziness from Lexapro

760surf

I am on my 11th day of Lexapro and I feel almost constantly dizzy and off balance. I took Lexapro 10mg before for about 1 year, but experienced almost no side effects. Now I'm just starting again a year later and even 2.5mg has got me feeling like I'm on a ship in a storm. 


Has anyone else dealt with this in the 1st weeks of SSRI treatment? Did it eventually subside?

just saw your age i dont know the age restriction on it but i believe you parents may be able to talk with your doc and they are able to prescribe it but your parents can legally order off line if they read up on it and think it might help but i believe that or your parents demand a med change and then the doc would have to change it. it really messed with my head

One thing I remind everyone with medication is to stay hydrated.

The hardest part about medicine is finding what works best when.

Also important is to understand the doctor is treating the worst symptom you present to them. Sometimes, the medicine prescribed will bring out the next symptom, which can make you feel better or worse, depending on the situation.

Best wishes finding what works for you.

Thanks for the advice. I'm actually in my 20's. For some reason my age was wrong. I have considered trying CBD oils. I've heard that helps a lot.
