Went Xmas shopping today and just felt in a world of my own. Like I'm in a daze/ lightheaded. 

Iv had enough of feeling like this! It brings me down and makes me not want go do anything and scared. Will this pass? Has anyone experienced this? And got through it? And any tips? 

I get this every day! I am also day 7 of Prozac.

    Hi Michelle,

    I assume that whoever gave you Prozac also ordered bloodwork and  thyroid panel withTSH, T3 and T4 (?) Spaciness can be a sign of endocrine or even nutritional deficiencies which if left untreated, get much, much worse with time. 

    You owe it to yourself to insist that your doctor rules out all of the above.

    If he says you're nuts -  ditch him and find someone else.cheesygrin

      Hello

      Iv had all my blood works checked. Nothing was wrong. And I take multi vitamins. 

      I may ring them tomorrow and see maybe about upping my dosage? Maybe that's what I need? As I do feel very spaced out and worried. Who knows. Iv started taking it at night because I couldn't sleep. Now I feel anxious in the day. So maybe I do need to up the dosage. Iv no idea. 

      Sometimes I feel like checking myself into a hospital. Literally this is not me. Hope it stops. 

      Thanks for the advice

      usually if someone has Magnissium Deficincy he would feel Some not all of these symptoms: Calcium deficiency - Poor heart health - Weakness - Muscle cramps - Tremors - Nausea - Anxiety - High blood pressure - Dizziness - Fatigue - Potassium deficiency - Difficulty swallowing - Poor memory Confusion.

      i had dizziness, clogged ears, tinnitus in the left ear and tingling in the muscles and all doctors told me its anxiety and stress and gave me medicines then finally a dcotor i knew told me stop all your medications and take magnisium tablets and things are getting better from then. maybe you should check it out.
