Does anxiety cause dizzyness or a rocking type feeling or could it be the celexa (citalopram) been on it for a year and half?

SSRI side effects: I like to use www.Drugs.Com (no, this isn't a paid endorsement) to search for drug info like side effects & drug-drug interactions. Dizziness is a common side effect of many/most medications. Rash & nausea, too. But your rocking sensation may be akisthisia. Check out http://www.Drugs.Com/celexa.Html then go see your prescribing doc & report your concerns. You may need dose adjustment or change rx.

Anxiety: Anxiety can cause dizziness, probably unlikely caused by Celexa (citalopram) if you have not had the symptoms before. Consult with your doctor to rule out medication reaction and then ask for a referral to a clinical psychologist who treats anxeity difficulties regularly. Best wishes.

Celexa (citalopram): More likely the anxiety, since u have been on Celexa (citalopram) for a while & I am assuming your symptoms started recently, unless the Celexa (citalopram) dosage was adjusted recently. Consult your doctor.

ANXIETY: Anxiety can cause these symptoms. Please have a physical exam by a Dr. to rule out a physical illness. There is extra anxiety due to covid 19- stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help your anxiety with Zoom sessions. Psychotherapy can help you find better coping mechanisms. Medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist can help.
