Has anyone dealt with extreme dizziness from their meds? I recently was prescribed ability 5mg in addition to 300 MG of welbutrin and 37.5 effexor. I also take blood pressure meds. For the past few weeks since starting ability, I've been very dizzy. I'm wondering if my pdoc will be able to adjust my meds. The dizziness is pretty bad. I went to my primary to get checked out, and she thinks it's because of the combo of drugs that can cause dizziness.

Some meds on their own will cause dizziness. Did you notice a marked change since the addition of abilify? Hope you can sort this out soon.

I got dizziness as a side effect when I first started Effexor, but it went away in a couple of weeks.
Now I get dizzy from the seroquel I'm on. It makes me extremely dizzy, fortunately I take it right before bed, and it makes me fall asleep right away so it's not generally an issue. splitimage

I had trouble with dizziness and falling several times on a low dose of Abilify. My pdoc thinks it was lowering my blood pressure. I went off very quickly because of that side effect and visual problems.
