So I seen the doctor on Monday and she upped my dose of 10mg to 20mg escitalopram because of my anxiety. Day 4 now on 20mg and I've been feeling ok but my head just feels like its spinning in the cent alor more. Has anyone else experienced this? It also feels like my eyes are trying to roll back into my head sometimes. It's just a crappy feeling and uncomfortable mainly.

      Well actually I just quit the Lexapro cold turkey 3 days ago. I was on 10mg of that. They put me on Buspar to go along with the Lexpro I want to say 2 weeks ago and I only took it a few days then didn’t take it because it wasn’t doing anything I felt like. I’m taking it again because I don’t feel like I gave it enough time to get into my system. I take 10mg in the morning and 10mg at night. And since I’ve been off Lexapro only 3 days the only thing I can say is that I have a TERRIBLE headache. Which is common but I’m gonna give it a week or two and see how I do without it.

      You are not taking anything now? or are you taking the busbar?  Busbar was the first med that they put me on after taking me off lexapro but that stuff made me crazy... then they put me on viibryd and that didn;t work..  so doc put me back on lexapro..  15mg now..26 days..   will find out what is happening with doc on tue...
