Suggest Medication For Dizziness A Pressure In The Ears

I stopped taking Lexapro 10 mg 1 week ago as well as .25 mg of Clonzepam. I had been on it for almost 2 years, but was weaning off it over the last 6 months. I had went down from 20 mg of Lexapro and .5 mg of Clonzepam to the 10 mg and .25 for the last 6 months. I was going to go down to 5 mg of the Lexapro and none of the Clonzepam for the next week and then every other day, but my husband and I think we might have gotten pregnant so we chose to get off them meds. I am having waves of dizziness...I feel almost like I am going to fall over. Also, each time the wave of dizziness comes on, it is preceded by that pressure feeling in my ears, kind of like when you yawn and your ears feel alot of pressure. Is this a normal symptom of withdrawal from these medications and how long can I expect this to go on, it has been going on for 5 days now and I need this feeling to go away. Help?
