> It's been about 2.5 weeks and the weird dizziness is becoming less frequent, but still bothersome. I don't know it it's a brain zap...I've had the zaps through my body but that was just a few times in the beginning. I'm now feeling the mental/emotional side effects but I'm determined not to go back on. I should add that I take Wellbutrin 150 XL once a day.
I don't take anything else but xanax as needed and I haven't had to take it much since the Lexapro. Does your dizziness feel like it is in the front of your head like a mask over your eyes?
It's very hard for me to explain.
