Help for dizziness?

[calicat]

I have been feeling very dizzy today. Stopped lexapro after 4 days of extreme dizziness, nausea and anxiety 11 days ago. I’ve been slightly dizzy since and I know it has to work it’s way out of your system but today it really sucks. Anybody have experience with this or have any tips on dealing with dizziness?

I was feeling dizzy and nauseous and lightheaded all day. But it's not due to medication. I've been getting like this because of my anxiety. Hope you start feeling better.

Yes that’s what I’m wondering too. Hope you start feeling better too!

It's our anxiety or vertigo. I dislike it because i feel anxious when it happens. Like I'm feeling it right now.

[calicat in reply to Espinoza38]

Exactly, me too. I hate the feeling to begin with, then I start panicking about why it’s happening. Ugh. At least I know I’m not alone

Yes mam I ask the same question. Why is this happening why wont it just stop like for reals.

I have the exact same thing happen to me, feeling dizzy then my heart starts pounding, it’s just hard to believe that simply being anxious can cause so many physical symptoms..I’m encouraged to know I’m not the only one, I hope you feel better!

I haven't been on meds but I am dizzy often, especially today. It's just a symptom of my anxiety, like others have mentioned. And the dizziness makes me more anxious. And being more anxious makes me more dizzy. And around and around it goes.

Ugh yes. I hate feeling dizzy and yes then it makes me worked up and it’s a vicious cycle
