Hello,

> I really need some help concerning what I am
> going through. I started on Lexapro 10mg and
> was on that dosage with no problems for 3
> weeks. I had some bad anxiety because of
> personal issues and the doctor put me on
> 20MG. I took the 20MG for 14 days without
> problems. However, on the 15th day, I begin
> to feel a bit off balance when walking. The
> symptoms got worse has each day passed
> since. This is the 11th day since I started
> feeling bad. The symptoms I now have is no
> appetite, no energy, my head feels pressure
> across the front of my forehead and near my
> temples. I feel like I am in a fog/dazed. I
> also feel tired and a bit weak. My eye sight also appears to be affected. My sight is not blurred but feels more sensatitive or a little out of focus. I don't know if this is in my head, but my anxiety seems to be worse as I am worried to death that I am dying(no punn intended).

> I went to the ER and was given a cat scan
> and told that my brain was ok.

> Could these symptoms be releated to my body
> not liking 20MG? The ER doctors think this
> is the case and told me to go back down to
> 10. I was told that it may take several days
> to feel better as the drugs lives in the
> body for a long time.

> Has anybody out there had this problem? I
> will sure feel a lot better is somebody else
> could provide feedback...

> Thanks so much,

> Lance
