sfr100 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi I haven't posted in awhile. I have a constant rocking motion in my head and chest area that never leaves. It makes me off balance like i'm floating when I'm walking. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and if anything helps. It never goes away so it isn't intermittant.

MomtoGiuliana Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 How long have you been using the SSRI? It can take two months to get a benefit from it.Hope you find something that helps.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfr100 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the replies. I've been on on e smaller dose for 2 months and the mg were doubled for 2 weeks of celexa. I also take klonopin for sleep but was taking that before the rocking/floating symptoms. Any ideas? Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliegee Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Susan,I've done some searching on the internet. As a rare side effect, klonopin can cause uncontrollable motions and even seizures. Side effects from meds can happen at any time. Just because you took klonopin w/o sed effects doesn't mean that they can't form later- after weeks or months.I'm confused as to why your doc put you on an SSRI for this uncontrollable rocking motion. Layering meds hardly seems the way to go especially if this is a drug reaction. But, don't stop anything w/o your doc's approval. Celexa can have withdrawal side efects.Do talk with your doctor or pharmacist about the likelihood of klonopin causing your symptoms and follow medical advice to figure this out. I wish you all the best. Your symptom sounds really frightening.Hugs-Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
