Suggest Treatment For Severe Dizziness And Anxiety

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Generic medications are exactly the same as name brand medications. There is no meaningful difference between them, so I do not think this is the cause of the problem. Your symptoms are concerning given the Ativan use, which is a relatively high dose -- has Ativan use changed at all recently? You might be developing a tolerance to it, as it is addictive. I recommend two things: talking with your doctor about weaning off Ativan, and starting cognitive behavioral psychotherapy (CBT), which is much more effective than Ativan and much safer.
