side effects appearing 1.5 months in?
hi all ! i recently got a new doctor , she was very attentive to my needs and noticed i was on lexapro , she herself was on cymbalta and basically explained it might be a bit better for me as i also have ibs and stomach issues which she said goes hand and hand w the anxiety i experience , so i said let’s give it a try . i slowly weened off my low 10mg dose of lexapro and began introducing my 20mg dose of cymbalta . first month wasn’t bad at all— no side effects ! didn’t necessarily feel like it was the miracle drug people describe it as but i didn’t think much. fast forward to about 1.5 months in . i wake up in a drenched sweat , experiencing the worst panic attack ive had in ages , rest of the day my appetite was shot and im left with extreme anxiety— this has been on going for the last 5 days . waking up in sweats and panics , leading to extreme anxiety throughout the day , and having to force myself to eat, absolutely NO appetite . on top of that my eye doctor noticed there is pressure in my right eye , and i have been experiencing slight blurriness in that eye and i looked it up and sure enough that can be a side effect . NONE OF THIS HAS STOPPED ! i’m scared , i don’t know what to do and i don’t know if it will get better ? im scared ive made a terrible mistake and im kinda just wanting to stop all together and get my lexapro back .
please share your thoughts and opinions , any help is appreciated , thank you !!!
