Will Cipramil help with the dizziness?

I have been on Cipramil for 3 weeks now, but my dizziness seems to have been worse ie more consistent than before. And of course I had a big panic attack this afternoon. I know that this could be a side effect of the medication too but thought- maybe naively so - that this would have calmed down by now.

I was wondering how long I should expect the meds to take to kick in. This dizziness is killing me - it occupies my mind all day long and I have a 5 year old and a 6 month old to care for who deserve my attention. I am also worried that they will pick up on my anxiety.

Hi Leigh,

Anxiety symptoms can be increased in the first weeks of taking meds. Normally it is up to 6 weeks before things start to settle down.

Dizzyness is a very big anxiety symptom, give it a few more weeks and hopefully things will start to improve for you.

Just stay positive and focused that really helps too.

Take care
