for some reason i feel lightheaded, it seems to come when i am anxious or thinking about it. i dont know if its a side affect of medication--im thinkin the abilify. anybody else experience this
Do you take anxiety meds? and aare you learning self help skills through your physcologist.
being on an anxiety med just whilst your getting used to your newmeds and waiting for them to kick i helps.
It willalso help you whilst your learning selfhelp skills tocope with anxiety, jounaling negative to realistic thinking, affirmations, deep breathing, meditation ect, all these skills are great tools in helping you cope better with your anxiety.
The lightheadedness could be a side effect of your new med, it should be only tempory, if it,s really bothersome i would call your doctor.
I hope you start to feel better soon!.

Iv,e been on remeron for almost 2 months, it works excelent as far as the depression and calming down my anxiety but gives me a huge appetite and a bad temper!, i know everyone is different on how they react to a me.
I have been living on diet food and just gone back to the gym as it has made me gain weight.
After discussion with my hubby iv,e put in a phone call to my doctor to change my med because my tempe is not fair on my family and my weight gain is to much for my height.
Remeron can cause enlarged stomach which has definately hapened to me, i look like im 6 months pregnant despite eating diet food, no sodas or alcho; ect, so im going to switch meds whith heavy heart as depression has lifted and i sleep better but the bad is outweighing the good for me.
Have you had similar problems if you dont mind me asking or have you been ok weight wise?.
I don't think people with our kind of anxiety can ever go off of meds. I won't again!
we will all beat this !!!
