Experiencing Dizziness and Fatigue on Lexapro: Anyone Else?

I've been taking lexapro for about 18 days. I'm still getting dizzy spells, im exhausted and still have no energy to do much. I wonder if anyone else felt like this? some days are good some are bad. I also got off of birth control the same week I started lexapro 🤷‍♀️

I started week 2 today (so about 8 days), and I feel, so far, better overall. I don't have a ton of energy, but I do have some, and I do feel tired most of the day, even when I've gotten a good night's sleep. I would get dizzy spells on and off, but that's mostly been the first few days. I also started metformin about a week before, so maybe that had something to do with things too (lower my sugar as well). If it continues, I would call your doctors office because I would think by 4 weeks in, things should even out some for you. 👍

Can you reduce the dose a bit and wean up, I started on a stupidly low dose as I had very bad experience with citalapram

What dose are you on and what is it treating? I'm starting week 4 for anxiety and panic attacks and had low energy for the first 2 weeks and my mornings are still a bit tough. I'm on a super low dose, though.
