The first anxiety med I was on was Effexor, and I didn't think it helped me much. I had "floating" dizziness feelings every day that lasted all day long, and my neurologist thought my serotonin might be off, but after 2 months on Effexor, I was still dizzy. When I went off Effexor, I, too, had the strange shock sensations in my head. Lasted about a week.
Now that I'm on Lexapro, I haven't been dizzy since the 10th day of being on the meds. I think that is a major breakthru for me because the dizziness was starting to become a part of my every day life and I didn't like it one bit!
