Hi
I have been on this now for 2 and a half weeks. Just been increased from 10mg to 15mg beginning of this week. My anxiety is increasing by the day and so is my dizziness.
I have always suffered with dizziness, but now its totally unbearable. I get little jolts of feeling off balance, feelings like I will just fall over, and walking, well, I seem to stagger.
Why is this happening to me?
I saw my GP who said that ADs may cause dizziness as a side effect but then my phsyc says the dose needs to be higher and get into my system. He wants me to be on it for another month to see if things settle down. Isnt 2 and a half weeks enough to see if this med is working for me?
My GP started talking about blood tests about my dizziness and then he may send me to an ENT Doc. Im worried about the bloods, what wouod they be for?
What can I do to ease my dizziness? Surely, if the AD is to work, it would stop my dizziness all together. If it is not resolving, then could it be that maybe it is not anxiety related?
Please help me, Ive got a 7 weeks old baby to look after too. Im so scared I may drop her or collapse when we are out.
Thanks - Liz xx
