Hi my name is Brandon! I have the feeling my mind is going to shut off and that it is disengaged from my body, I have recently been to the ER and they are treating me for anxiety . Tonight was my first half dose of cipralex and I feel like I did when I went to the ER the first time. My arms legs and finger tips seem to get affected and my mind will not stop racing. Does this sound like anxiety or a reaction to the meds

Hi there, thanks for asking. As you mentioned, it appears to be related to the side effects. It usually happens with the first few doses. In is not uncommon with cipralex that people experience such symptoms. In most of the time it will disappear after several days to several weeks. If the symptoms are still present after a few days, you can tell your doctor and ask him to combine it with an anti anxiety medication since it is common to do it at the beginning. Rarely, but important to know, it might be related to reaction of your brain to this medication. So if your sleep decreases to just several hours and it persists over time with this medication, you should inform your doctor to evaluate again your situation. I wish you the best health.
