Dizziness/Nausea/Etc.

[Dogperson]

I've been having a feeling of dizziness & nausea for several weeks. I kind of feel like my eyes want to cross. Also I feel like I'm hungry all the time & like my blood sugar is low, but bloodwork my Dr. did was normal. I used to get fluid on my inner ear but haven't had problems with that since I went on allergy shots, but I wonder if that could be it, although it doesn't usually last this long.
I cannot be pregnant, so we can rule that one out.
Anyone ever had this?

I think I may have figured out what my problem was. I think it's because I stopped taking Klonopin regularly. I have a prescription for it because I have occasional panic attacks, usually few & far between. But back in the fall & early winter I was sick for 10 weeks & started having panic again & was taking a whole Klonopin every 12 hours. This was from the end of October through about the first week of January. Prior to that I was only taking them every now & then, usually just a half tablet. I noticed if I started feeling dizzy & nauseated it seemed to coincide with times when I didn't have any Klonopin in my system. Then I tried taking a half tablet & the symptoms went away within 30 minutes. I looked it up on the internet & those seem to be withdrawal symptoms. I've gone back to taking a half tablet at night & no more symptoms so far. I guess I could cut back to a quarter tablet & then gradually down to none. Doctors tend to not tell me of things like this when they prescribe meds to me, but to be honest, when I'm panicking badly I don't even care. The only thing I was told was that people who take high doses can't suddenly stop or they might have a seizure, but I wasn't on a high dose. Anyway, looks like I will have to go off this medicine more gradually & then use only every now & then if needed. I appreciate everyone's concern about this. I'd actually rather it just be a medicine side effect than an illness. I can deal with coming off medicine better than I can deal with being sick.

Glad to hear you "think" you have figured it out. but always be safe and call the dr...... I have been on klonapin for 7 yrs 1 mg 3xs a day, which is alot, and have stopped suddenly at times, or have run out...one of the main withdrawl symptoms they worry about is seizures, never had what you have experienced, but i suppose we are all diffrent...but to be safe i would call the dr....Be safe and Blessed

you really should talk to your doctor... that's the soundest advice anyone can give. they might want to change your med

i guess your hemoglobin would be low.
once i used to have such problems my doctor checked my hemoglobin levels and diagnosed that i am acute anemic.
one more thing this might happen because of low blood sugar levels too.
