Numb and tired On Cipralex ?

[Spacey]

Been on Cipralex 1 week on 5 mg and 5 weeks on 10 mg total of 6 weeks. Still get really edgy, anxious, and depressed at times. But, the spacey head and numb feeling is just too much and I'm always tired. Will decreasing back to 5 mg help relieve the side effects ? I'll discuss this with my GP, but anybody experience this at all ? thanks !

When I first when on Cipralex I was having horrible side effects. I had to reduce it to 2mg then go up mg by mg to 5 which took me weeks... then up to 10, then up to 20. Reducing the dose CAN help with the side effects but your GP will know best.

I hope it works out for you becaue its a great drug.
