Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lipton may can cause dizziness and still few more side effects. But have to rule out other possibile causes for dizziness like cardiac problem or anemia or hypotension or seizure disorder etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please, consult your physician he will examine and investigate for cardiac or CNS causes or drug allergy and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
