<s>[INST] I have been suffering from what my gp says is anxiety and am pretty much paralyzed from it. I have been on cipralex for a week at 5 mg a day. I am constantly dizzy and vision has decreased. Also I am tired all the time. I was tired all the time Aswell befor the cipralex but it seems to be worse. It is Christmas break at my dr office and I am not sure what to do. Should I continue with my dose today? I herd the symptoms would go away but I feel like I m just getting much worse. Please help. Thanks [/INST] Hello....... Thanks for your query. Circle (Escitalopram) is an effective anti-depressant/antianxiety agent. However, the dosage of 5 mg is only starting dosage and can be gradually escalated till 20 mg/day. In addition, psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy) are available for depression and other effective antianxiety medication are also available. Hence, it is premature to lose hope. Hope you found the information useful. Regards Chat Doctor.  </s>
