I've been on and off anxiety meds for the past 8 years. Came off Lexapro this past May and around mid-June I started getting dizzy when walking and dizzy when I would stop walking/standing still. Of course, this caused my anxiety to act up again and within a month of this dizziness, my anxiety turned back in to full panic mode. I saw my doctor and decided to go back on medication in hopes to regain some peace and in turn have the dizziness go away. Well, I've been back on Lexapro for almost 5 weeks now and taking 1/2 Xanax as needed. Finding I don't need to take the Xanax as much anymore but definitely don't feel like the Lexapro is working 100% yet. Willing to give it more time and eventually go up in dose as I think that will help a lot. But the dizziness is still there and I can't help but think that it's a separate issue. Especially since it started before the panic attacks returned. But my doctor keeps telling me that the anxiety could have always been there subconsciously and whether I felt anxious or not, it could still be the cause of the dizziness. We did blood work and my thyroid, electrolytes, iron, everything was normal except VitD was low. She checked my ears and saw on both sides that I have fluid bubbles. She suspects this could be causing the dizziness. Told me to take a claritin 1x a day... but I'm afraid to take this bc I know it can cause anxious feelings. I'm seeing a chiropractor to see if that will help as well. The dizziness is hard to explain. Definitely not typical vertigo. The room doesn't really spin as much as it feels like the ground is moving. Sometimes when I'm walking, I'll feel like I'm on a boat, rocking. But mostly it's when I'm standing still....like if I'm walking down the road and come to a red light and have to stand there and wait, I feel like I have to keep moving or else I'm going to fall over or pass out. I get very anxious when this happens and that only makes it so much worse. I'm so frustrated. This could very well just be my anxiety...and I actually HOPE it is...bc then that means when the meds kick in, it will go away. But the dizziness seems so real and so separate from my anxiety that I can't help but worry what else it could be. And the only way to really investigate this is by going to a million doctors...which really isn't on my list of fun things to do. I'm out of work..filing for disability at the moment. Going to work makes everything so much worse for me. Dizziness is my worst nightmare. I don't know how people live like this! I don't expect any answers but was wondering if anyone here felt anything similar or has any suggestions. Thanks guys...
