Dizziness, Nausea, Abnormal Appetite. Have Depression And Anxiety. Cause?
hello, im 19 years old and lately i have been feeling light headed/ dizziness . The dizziness is extremely sensitive, even when im in bed swtiching sides or even just moving my head slightly it makes me kind of nauseous . and also my appetite has also been different. Most of the time im a big eater and have no problems eating, but now i have been experiencing that i get full very quickly and that i snack on throughout the day. i am diagnosed with depressing and anxiety , not sure if its related but as ive been reading it has. i was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when i was about 15/16 years old and i havnt had anything like this happen to me before. i have though experienced the light headed and dizziness before but never this long and it didnt come with the weird eating behavior. i also want to mention that i have been off my medication for depression and anxiety for about a week now due to no insurance. I just want to know what could cause this and if it will go away or if there is something that i can do to help.
You are a young girl with history of anxiety and depressive disorder. You have been taking medicines for about 3 years. Just recently you have stopped taking medicines due to lack of insurance cover and developed light headedness, nausea, dizziness and restlessness. Most likely the symptoms are occurring due to withdrawal syndrome due to anti depressant and anti anxiety medicines. The symptoms will last for few more days and if they are really bothersome then I would advise you to visit your psychiatrist for expert help and to rule out any possibility of serotonin withdrawal syndrome.
Hope this helps you, thanks
