Lexapro and dizziness?!
Question: Lexapro and dizziness!?
I take 5 mg of lexapro!. This is my second day of taking it!. I also take Advair twice a day for my asthma, Nexium once a day for my frequent heartburn, and a woman's multi-vitamin every morning!. Today while standing, I got really faint and had to sit down for a while!. What is this about!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Look at the side effects on the side of the bottle!. Most likely it says "may cause dizziness" I think when you start a new medication sometimes it takes time for your system to adjust to it!. It's probably very normal, but I'd ask my doctor if it doesn't go away in a week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
When do you take the Lexapro!? It works best for most people taking it in the evening, shortly before bedtime!.
It does take 4 to 6 weeks for the Lexapro to reach its full effectiveness level, you should start to feel it working after a couple weeks!.
When you first start taking Lexapro, some people (but not all) have "break-in" side effects that go away after a couple weeks or so!. I had bizarre and vivid dreams that lasted a little while, then went away!.
I doubt the other medications would interfere with the Lexapro - if you think there is any chance of that you should check with your pharmacist!. 5 mg is a very low dose, compared to what some people are taking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
