When your anxiety is high, does anyone else get that heavy head, out of body, heavy eyes feeling? It's hard to describe....

I used to. Since it's been so many years now physically don't seem to react? It's wierd like I swallow it and just feel hurt. Then I get a feeling of have to get out of here. And if do I feel better. So strange. And it changes over time. Did this happen to you also? Phillipa

I just upped my dose of lexapro so I am sure that's the cause because it is lingering. It typically goes away if I change the situation. It's very frustrating and it makes me feel our of body and my eyes/vision feels so weird.

Does it feel like your brain is a fraction of a second later turning than your head? Or like thoughts have to slog through the quicksand of your brain?
I tend to feel groggy when intensely stressed. It might be interesting to take your blood sugar. Blood sugar rises in the fight or flight response, which might lead to grogginess if unaccompanied with racing from the fangs of that sabertooth tiger.
My out of the body feelings tend to feel lighter, almost as if my brain were a balloon that had slipped its moorings.

Yes, kind of just off and my eyes feel like I'm in a tunnel almost.

What dose of lexapro are you now on? I lowered mine again due to feeling strange. Phillipa

I was upped to 10mg and then 15mg about two weeks ago. These start up side effects suck...
