Stemtil is sometimes used for anxiety/panic, fairly old drug, was used as an antipsychotic not too many moons ago can't quite remember why it was withdrawn, used more for nausea etc these days. Is your GP old school?

You know anxiety itself can cause lightheadedness. I suffer from it daily but just try to get on with it as I'm not a fan of medication. I wouldn't be surprised if your meds are the cause, one of the probs with old antipsychotics is the catalogue of side effects. I guess you have to ask yourself are you better with or without them, as you know only you can answer that question.
