About 4 to 5 hours after I take Lexapro, I get a light-headed, spacey, semi-dizzy kind of high feeling. It happens EVERY day, and I'm sure it corresponds to when the Lexapro reaches its peak blood plasma level in my system. HAS ANYONE ELSE experienced strange side effects like this about 4 to 5 hours after they take Lexapro? I'm pretty sure it's kind of a serotonin surge that should have gone away by now? I can only remain on 5mg LEXAPRO as long as this keeps happening, I just can't get up to what my pdoc calls a therapeutic dose of 10mg (and his target dose for me is, eventually 15mg). Would love to hear from Dr. Bob on this.
p.s. This has been going on for months now, and I get this strange SURGE (as I call it) almost EVERY day. Never happened when I was on Celexa.
