See my response to your other post, Madman. After the first month, I was a lot better, but still having "mild" symptoms. It sounds as if your nervous system (I'm guessing here, but this is how it felt to me) is stuck running on high, and as if your sense receptors are wide open. Does this sound right to you? It felt to me that the world was too loud, too bright, things moved too much, etc., and that contributed to my nausea and pain. This is why I think perhaps you are right - maybe a neurologist would at least be able to point you in the right direction as far as what might help settle your system down. Some here might suggest taking another SSRI to help calm the symptoms down. You would need to talk with a doctor you trust about this. I know that I was much more emotionally volitile for several months, until it finally settled down. Let me know what you decide and how it works. Take care!!!
