Brief Answer: Head heaviness and stopping meds Detailed Answer: Hello again, I beleive you are right that the medications may be interfering with you energy levels. These are actually pretty well known side effects to drugs like Nexito, Voxidep and Dicorate. Technically even Buspin can cause the same. As far as suddenly stopping the, I cannot recommend that, it could be dangerous if you have been on them ling enough. Instead I would ask your doctor to put you on another med with less side effects. Sometimes i use a drug called VENLOR which works great on my patients. I do not see the need for Strocit at this point so maybe your doctor could take you off of those soon. I hope this helps. Take Care my friend. Vin
