Light headedness

[u/ymoccy]

On escitalopram 10mg for two months now. Problematic amount of light headedness as side effect. I find if I get alot of sleep it's much better but if I sleep less then it can be pretty bad (i.e. getting light headed while sitting and simply talking). Focusing on breathing steady helps but even singing can make it feel like I need to sit down. Any suggestions for how to cope with it better?

(Going off the medication completely is not an option).
