Feeling like crap again...

All the symptoms I described in the first post are back, which is odd seeing as how I didn't change anything... :(

[Kroko]

I've been on Cipralex for over three weeks now and things aren't better. I don't have constipation, but the anxiety is even worse than what it was when I did have constipation, and the derealisation is constantly so bad I seriously doubt I'm ever going back to feeling even somewhat normal. My derealisation seems to sometimes take a step for the worse and then it just doesn't go back for the better. It has taken one of these steps again and I'm really getting desperate here. I feel like I have some circulatory problems, I sometimes get what feels like blood moving in a big burst in the veins on my head which makes my eyes sort of fuzzy. I'm getting hopeless and really upset.

Hi Kroko

Don't worry, why don't you give the meds another week or two and then go back to the doctor if you still feel awful.

You will feel normal again, I promise

Hang in there.

I'm really not sure about this...the derealisation seems to worsen every year, so I feel like it's worsened permanently again.

Question! How important is taking the drug at the same time every day?

[jill]

Hi Kroko,

I think it is importent to take meds at a similiar time because
say you take a pain killer it has a set amount of time it works
for then it wears off. All meds are like this so taking it at a
similiar time every day keep it in your system.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kroko ,

Seeing ' floaters' in your vision is common.

I know derealization feels so dreadfully awful but you do know that it does pass as it has done for you in the past.

Are you doing regular vigorous exercise, cutting out sugars, alcohol , caffiene and practicing relaxation and meditation.

If you want to you could ask your doctor to run a cortisol blood test. Very occasionally it can have a physical origin.
