My mom took 1 feliz 20s around 15mins ago and since then, she has been vomiting, palpitating, experiencing dizziness and her eye seems to be bulging somehow. Are these side effects normal? How do I stop these from happening? When will the medicine finally sink in ? Please reply asap

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Feliz is having escitalopram. It is anxiolytic drug given for stress and anxiety.
It is not known to cause palpitations, dizziness, vomiting etc.
All these symptoms are mostly due to her uncontrolled stress and anxiety.
Only anxiolytic drugs are not beneficial for the symptomatic relief. She needs consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on it's solution.
Counselling and anxiolytic drugs together are very useful in control of such symptoms.
Give her antacid and anti Emetic combination for vomiting.
Ask her to avoid hot and spicy food, avoid large meals.
Don't worry, she will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
