So.. Idk what's going on at this point. Things just don't feel right. I hate just hopping into forums just to ask questions without really being able to do much in return, but.. I wanted to ask someone about this before I call the doctor tomorrow.
TLDR of what's been going on. I was diagnosed with anxiety in late '14. Went without medically treating it up until Jan 2016 when I was sick of constant pains, especially chest pains. Doc prescribed me prozac, was suicidal within weeks, so I was pulled off of that. I was then put on Welbrutrin. Felt like I was in a better mood overall but always tense and easily startled/worked up still.. So he added Buspar. I've been on it for a month. First few days I didn't feel too different, but then my chest felt kind of.. odd when I was going to bed. Freaked me out, and the feeling lessened when I was freaked out. 2-3 days later I kinda felt various muscles when that happened and everything else was actually not tense for once so I figured the feeling was me being unused to muscles being relaxed. This went away a couple of weeks in... until 4-5 days ago when it came back. I was confused, and intended to call the doc but then got caught up in stuff and got way too busy. I intended to call tomorrow, and still do, but today has been an adventure. I woke up and went to the restroom.. and almost fell sideways off the toilet. I had JUST woken up (and I stopped feeling like I should just lay in bed for an extra hour or two after waking up) and felt that the fact that I'm out of bed sooner contributed to it because I wasn't awake enough to have good balance. 4-5 hours later I went to the restroom again. Felt kind of lightheaded while looking down. Was confused about it and started getting worried... Feeling went away though. Not long ago, though, I was just making myself some dinner and kneeled down to grab a lid to the pan I was using and almost toppled over when I started looking down into the place we store 'em. It's starting to scare the living hell out of me. I just started a refill of the Buspar last night, but the pills are identical. I have no idea what to think, what to do, etc, and now that I'm getting worked up about it I can't stay still, I'm tense, my throat feels tight-ish, and scared to death that it's my heart although my pulse seems completely steady, albeit at a high bpm because of stress.

Edit: While I've been feeling mildly anxious still, there ARE reasons for me to feel anxious for once right now... A math professor has practically vanished on me and her grades for my course are now 3 days overdue, plus my boyfriend is coming over in a few days to stay for a week, only our second time actually being together in person in a 4 year long distance relationship. Plus finances are a wreck and always are. Even so, that shouldn't make me light headed and mess up my balance I'd imagine..

I was once dizzy every day for 6 weeks. I went to an ENT physician and it turned out to be an inner ear issue. Many balance issues are due to inner ear issues
according to my ENT physician. I have been told stress can cause dizziness as can other minor things. My internal medicine physician told me that any persistent symptom should be investigated.
