just wiped out again thats it im going to bed now my leg really really hurts oh maybe meds are too high

 

[David Baxter PhD]

When you say "wiped out", what do you mean? Are you fainting? Passing out?

 

[forgetmenot]

No just loosing my footing i have never fallen like this last one broke my keyboard my computer ahah just clumsy stupidity

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Are you feeling groggy? or experiencing muscle weakness?

 

[forgetmenot]

yeh groggy tired maybe switch back to nights again
i am not sick like last time just light headed
dry mouth oh 15mg maybe too high go back to 10mg at night that way groggyness will be while i am sleeping

is it normal to want to rock all the time on this med. i tend to keep wanting to rock back and forth like restless just keep swaying back and forth while sitting down like im restless

 

[Daniel E.]

What med are you talking about?

 

[forgetmenot]

Cipralex

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I believe it's Cipralex - Lexapro in the US.

What you could do, Violet, is skip tomorrow morning and take tomorrow's dose at night or early evening. Don't take more tonight. The lightheadedness may pass but in the meantime you don't want to be falling down and breaking keyboards.

Are you taking any other medications besides the Cipralex?

It might also be a good idea to call your pharmacist or Telehealth and ask them about your symptoms:

Telehealth Ontario - Ministry Programs - Public Information - MOHLTC

1-866-797-0000

No i don't like taking meds just taking cipralex i think that is a good idea i will take tommorrow dose in the evening time I know doc would like me on 15mg but i don't know now see how i feel tomorrow thanks back to taking them at night time. My sons keyboard oh well it is an old one and thank god he has a basement full of them being the computer guy he is.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

When you switched from evening to morning, Violet, how did you do that? Did you skip a day?

 

[forgetmenot]

Yes i skipped the evening dose the day before i went on the day dose increasing it to 15mg

 

[David Baxter PhD]

OK. Good. I was worried you might have double-dosed.

Call telehealth, Violet. I've found them to be very helpful in the past. Just to be safe.

 

[forgetmenot]

Oh no i can't call them no i will be okay I don't like calling people sorry but know i am okay i think i will wait until tomorrow and see I have my husband home now so i will be okay now going to bed soon anyways thanks for all your replies.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

It's anonymous, Violet. They'll just ask you questions about your symptoms and advise you on what to do. I've used that service in the past and found them to be more helpful in providing information than many doctors.

 

[forgetmenot]

I will try okay i don't know it is very hard for me to talk to people but i will try maybe get my husband to call that is a good idea if he will thanks I have the number on a pamplet downstairs funny i use to be able to call people not now though but i will get my husband to do this thanks

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I posted the number above: 1-866-797-0000
