I am on seroxat 25 mg. When I'm under stress, I always have dizziness and lightheadedness. I also have depersonalisation and derealization. Is dizziness caused by the anxiety? How to overcome the dp?

Dr. Georges Karam Psychiatry
Hello, yes anxiety can cause physical symptoms. There are several ways to overcome those: 1- increase the dose of seroxat AFTER discussing it with your doctor, 2- start psychotherapy and/or 3- do a combination of #1 and #2.
The best treatment for anxiety is a combination of medications and therapy. Each alone can be helpful to a certain extent but when combining both, you do get the best results.
Anxiety is a bothersome condition (and people around you won't be able to understand what you are going through) but luckily, a good professional should be able to help you. Good luck!
