Anyone experience dizziness?

For the past few days I have been super tired and dizzy. Anyone else experience dizziness?

Yep. Since I started Abilify I get dizzy every morning. Don’t know what meds you’re on but that could be the issue. Also consider checking you blood pressure and even blood sugar, because if either of those are low you can get tired and dizzy.

Only when I quit my meds cold turkey.

I take ambilify as well. I wonder if that is what is causing it.

I get sick as a dog when I quit my meds.

I experience some dizziness from time to time.
Probably from taking meds on an empty stomach.
I’m not eating as much so it could be this.

@Wave hmm interesting. I haven’t been eating a lot either.

That could be the cause of your dizziness @moomop.
Try to eat smaller meals throughout the day.
See if this helps.

It is super frustrating because I am also really exhausted and unmotivated. I had a little routine I was going to do and I ended up not doing it today. I am at my wits end!

Yeah I am unmotivated also @moomop.
I don’t have the energy or drive to do much.
My meds don’t help the situation at all.

My doctor doesn’t want to lower my Risperidone dose.
She is trying to keep me from going to the Hospital again.

I used to be on respridone and it stopped working for me.

I hear you @moomop.
How are you doing with Abilify?
Better?

I was, but now I am relapsing. My body gets accustomed to the meds and then I do worse.

I get dizzy when my voices are loud and demanding. 42 puts thoughts in my head and I can’t sort it out with my own thoughts. A different kind of dizzy I guess.

@johnny5 I get bad headaches when my voices get loud.

Maybe drink more water to get your bp up?

I get dizzy when my blood pressure is too low. I have to make sure to drink lots of water and eat enough throughout the day. I also get dizzy when I take my meds on an empty stomach.

Could be meds. Some of my meds caused me to faint or become very light headed, prazosin and trazodone.

I get dizzy if I look up and if I raise my arms over my head it gets much worse

I was passing out in the morning from getting up too fast on Geodon.

The doc called it syncope and collapse. Once I put a hole in my bathroom wall with my head.

Now I lie in bed a few moments after waking up and it doesn’t happen anymore.
