In reply to SSRI causing spaceyness, posted by Edgefield on May 21, 2003, at 18:42:55
Hey Edge, I would like to dialog with you about your spaceyness; I'm not sure that is exactly what I had but I had a terrible, frightening episode of "spaciness" about a year and 1/2 ago, and it has continued ever since. I started on Paxil at the time, and after 3 full months, it began to be less of a problem. Now, I am on Anafranil, and I am still in the "spacy", what I call "disoriented" phase again. My head feels thick, and at its worse I was suicidal, because I was afraid I was becoming demented. Let me know if any of this is in the ballpark.
