Does anyone else get this? Right now I
feel like I can't even hold my head up or
open my eyes without feeling really dizzy
and like i'm gonna pass out. I've never
had this before to this extreme. Just
about 2 nights ago at the Dr.S they gave
me a shot of something, though I dont know
what, to calm me down, it was a big shot
in the hip. I don't know if it's the
after effects of that or what but i'm
sooooo dizzy! Anyone else get bad
dizziness or what are your thoughts on
this? Will taking an ativan make me more
dizzy?

Hey backhome:
hows it goin? Here I am again. It
amazing what anxiety can do to our bodies,
huh? I know that dizziness can be caused
by anxiety. It can feel like you are
light headed or kinda woozy and can be
accompanied by a feeling that you might
faint or pass out. I do also know that
ativan can cause dizziness and drowsiness.
The doc gave me some of this to take home
after my first panic attack to take in
case I ever felt panicky again. I never
have taken them, so I can't really give
you personal experience, but I do know
that it can make you dizzy. You should
not drive or anything like that after you
have taken them. I remember him telling
me to make sure and take each does with a
full glass of water and take only the
amount he recommended. I hope this
helps. I wish you the best and I hope you
feel better. Keep in touch!

Hi, I know the first time I was
prescribed ativan the dose was too high
and made me extemely dizzy. If you've
never taken it before than you don't know
the effects it will have on you, if the
dose is right or not. This is just my
experience, hope it helps.
