Hello everyone so the past few weeks I've been having the worst symptoms ever. I don't understand what's going on with my body. But I'm constantly dizzy as if I'm ready to faint my legs and arms are extremely weak and I am constantly sweating with the fear of passing out. I am taking Zoloft mitrazapine and risperdone but I am already a month and a half into the medication and I just started the symptoms two weeks ago. Could it be the medication or something else? Please someone help because I can't even walk right. I don't know if I'm weak or I have anxiety or vertigo... I honestly don't know the difference but the pressure in my head is also overwhelming.

Thank you

    Probably should call your doc to be safe. I have been dealing with same thing since last August. But I am not on any meds. I have menieres. The fluid build up is killing me. I can hear it when I swallow and feel it when I tilt my head. Doc is stepping up the treatment but due to the time of year, they are all going on vacations and the 4th of July stuff. Have to wait til the end of July!

      What has been your treatment for this vertigo? I heard Valium really works. MIne is terrible I can't even stand for longer than ten seconds.

      Valium helps a little. Have menieres. Diuretics didn't get rid of the fluid. Next is injections of antibiotics or steroids. Doc didn't say which he's doing yet. They go threw the ear drum. Damage the inner ear cells sending the wrong signals.
