    Re: awful feeling

    Hello Sher, you are certainly not alone with this 'falling over' feeling. It is a very common symton of anxiety.
    I am on a new med and it makes me feel like I am going to lose my balance and fall over. Even when I am standing still I can get the feeling that I am going to keel backwards and fall to the ground.
    I started taking an anti-psychotic drug called Seroquel a few weeks ago and I am sure that is causing it. I got a pill from my gp to stop the dizziness called Stemetil. It works most of the time but I still get some shakey moments.
    Have you started on a new med recently or increased the dosage of one you are taking?
    That is the only reason I can think of. See your doc and they might be able to give you something to sort it out.

    take care

    I am not taking any medications, but I also get that dizzy/falling over feeling. Sometimes it feels like I am swaying, and I even feel sea sick at times. I think it is just a symptom of tension. I know how you feel though about becoming agoraphobic... when I go through bad spells, I have a hard time leaving home for a few days. But, just remind yourself that it will pass. It always does. Even if you need to stay home a few days to recover, that is okay. Dont be too hard on yourself.
