Hi everyone, havn't been on here much lately.I don't feel like doing
much lately, i' v been on meds now for three weeks, don't know how I
feel about that I have no one to talk to about this in my life . I
find it hard to make friends and then theres some people who really
don't understand, when they find out your depressed don't really want
to hang out anymore.I don't no if any of this is making sense i'm just
rambleing on.
I had the strangest thing happen to me last night. I woke up around
1:30 - 2am i felt light headed like i was going to faint, so i turned
to lie crosswise on the bed and hung my head out over the side of the
bed so i wouldn't faint. I got up to get a drink and to use the
washroom to find out i had started my period 2 weeks early. Aftre I
get myself a drink I feel like i'm going to faint again, so i go lie
down again. I don't no if this is side effects or the fact i'm going
through alot of stress with my family for the pass couple months. I'm
going to see my doctor on Monday i'll ask then.

I certainly would talk to your doc. I know I experience something my doctor
and I call vertigo but has little to do with balance (though it can affect
my sense of balance). They cannot tell me what is causing it just that it
is real. The did notice during one mri a cascading brain activity the went
from one lobe to another even though my eeg was normal go figure.

I can really relate to not having someone to talk to. My friends have
either died or moved away and somehow I never noticed it. Considering how
hard it was to make them in the first place I don't know how I will do it
again now but I know I need to.

The meds may not be the right ones for you. Your doctor will know.

I've had this side effect with a few ADs I've tried in the past. What
the doctor told me to do was to raise myself into a sitting position
in the bed and taking a second before standing up. This helped ease
the dizziness some. Though a hard thing to remember when it is 2 am
and you leap up to get a drink I admit. I've also had it happen just
from rolling over too quickly. I've found in that case that if I close
my eyes and press on them lightly the dizziness eases faster.

It is good that you are bringing it up with your doctor. Remember that
there are quite a few medicine choices out there so if you find the
side effects too intollerable there is still hope :)

I would guess your faintness is due to your period, low blood pressure, or
disturbed cardiac rhythm. Please tell your doctor. Medications can cause the
last two items. I don't know about the first.
