Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Depression While On Ativan

I have been diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression. Taking Cybalta and Ativan since 2009. My dizziness is severe and I wish to know how much longer it will last? I can seem to get by with all other symptoms but the dizziness leaves me scared to go out. I have had the ear crystals treatment, sleep tests(I am O.K. with sleeping due to the Ativan(1/2 pill peevening, MRI, cat scans and everything else that you can imagine. The dizziness started when my husband died Jan.26, 2005. Jane Owen

Hi,

It is the psychological illness causing the dizziness and it cannot be any pathology. You need to come out the functional disorders as soon as possible and you can do this. Try to be positive, practical, stop worrying, control your thought and keep your moral high.

Exercise is the best to reduce the stress and anxiety. Otherwise, you have to take the medicine for a long time and may have different new symptoms like dizziness. Just to rule out other aetiology, you can see the vertigo center.

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