Hello,

The dizziness that you are experiencing is due to side effect of Namenda, you need not worry but take the medication as prescribed. Pyrisdostigmine sometimes causes muscle weakness due to which you may feel loopy. However, if you are restless report immediately to your treating doctor, you might need attention.

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