Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Ok, I was sitting on the couch like I had been for a while and out of the blue I get very dizzy, light-headed, and feel like I can't breathe. Right now I'm feeling like I can breathe again but my head is still very loopy like I'm underwater. I'm pretty sure that this wasn't a panic attack because I've had them before, and for the past day I've felt only a little light-headed. Nothing too bad.
I'm on cymbalta and I took my pill 12 hours ago. I've been on it five days. Nothing today is any different than it was any other day this week.
Is this a common thing for anti depressants or am I just freaking myself out? Anything would be helpful as I'm alone, don't have anyone to call as it is 1:30 Am and it's really bothering me!

I had that happen to me when I was on Celexa...it's not good, nor is it normal. I had to get switched to Lexapro. You should probably talk to your doctor and see if there is a different medicine you can take with less side effects. This one isn't sitting too well with you, I fear!

Talk to your doc anyway, hon. It could be meds, or any other medical problem.

I'll have to see if I can get in contact with him soon then I guess. Thanks for the responses guys.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
