Head Rush and feeling spaced out again

[mandie]

Hi All

I have been feeling really good for the past few months. Doctor upped my dose of Citalopram to 20mg and iv been doing really well.

This morning i woke up feeling a bit spaced out. I have come to work and while sitting at my desk i got this sudden head rush. I have slight headache now and feel spaced out.

I cant understand why all of a suddden i feel like this aagin. I havent been sleeping well for past 3-4 days, and have only been having about 3 hours sleep a night. I wonder if this is why I am feeling this way.

I hope its not the starting of my anxiety all over again, i cant handle it :(

love mandie x

Hi Mandie,

It does sound like it's because you haven't been sleeping well. It affects me too when I haven't had enough sleep. I get similar when I'm tired. Try not to worry about it been due to anxiety, I know that's easier said than done, but I really think it could be due to not having enough sleep.

Maybe also talking to your doctor about this may help?

Take Care,

If you try doing something relaxing before bed it can help you to sleep. I know it's been hot weather but things like a bath before bed, a warm drink, or a relaxation CD. I find relaxation CD's really helpful. I think you just need a good sleep and you'll be fine.

Take Care,
