I have started on 10 mg of escitalopram today and am dizzy, have got an aching lower back and feel really light (which I can only describe that i feel like I am walking like an astronaut on the moon!!) having read some other threads I know this is "normal." Have many people found that this drug affects their driving? Also, have people experienced weight gain? (If so, is the weight gain a result of having an increased appetite or has it just happened??)
Really look forward to hearing some replies as i am completely new to taking any drug of this sort.
