Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have dizziness with anxiety disorder and your are currently taking anti depressants . Well there can be many reasons for dizziness :-
- Low blood sugar and iron level ( which you already rule out ) .
- Some medications like anti-seizure drugs, antidepressants, sedatives and tranquilizers.
- Ear infection .
- Due to sonme medication .
-Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
- Meniere's disease .
- Migraine .
I would suggest you to consult your doctor who prescribed your antidepressants and discuss the whole secnerio whith him . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe you some substitute . Doctor may refer you to ENT specialist if he/she find this problem to be occur due to ear problem . ENT specialist maay prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ( gentamicine ) at least for a week , hearing aid and recommend vestibular therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
