> I've been on Lexapro for about a month now (10MG). I was prescribed it for GAD and Panic. My question is this: sometimes I have dizzy spells (usually in the evenings and mornings)and was wondering if the was a s/e of the Lexapro or just anxiety? It seems I may have had them before but it was kind of hard to tell because I had other symptoms of panic and anxiety as well. I also take Norvasc (5mg) for high Bp and adivan to help with the anxiety. What do you think? Thanks Ann
** Hi Ann...I have heard of the dizziness before...it seems this is not an uncommon s/e for a new drug in your body...particularly an AD (antidepressant)...nausea and headaches are also up there...but dizzinessis is not big on the Lexapro profile...the Dr's I have talked to about it said that it's normal to see this during "adjustment" period...and can go away in a couple weeks to a couple months....the norvasc and adivan shouldnt be a problem with Lex as it has a very clean "drug interaction" profile
