    Anxiety causing vertigo?? :/

    Can anxiety cause vertigo? Is this possible? Because I feel like everything is rocking back and forward. I googled this (stupid me) and read about it. Some said it can be a sign of some serious mental illness such as shizo, while others said that vertigo can cause serious problems. Is this from the anxiety? Is it as dangerous as people is making it sound?

    He wants me on 3 x 5mgs a day .

    I'm experiencing something new every day man. But I'm getting better in one way. I'm not getting heart palps anymore, I'm not nauseus, I'm not constantly worried/stressed, panic free for almost 2 months now etc. I don't know if it's vertigo. I don't feel it constantly only when I stare at something, think of it and then everything rocks back and forward.

    No other way i have found unless you want to start doing some long term things like trying to calm your system .

    Meds are really not that bad when you take the BS your anxiety is making you believe .

    Maybe focus on how good it could be rather than how back it MIGHT be .
    I'm trying, but I just can't. It's because I got my panic attack/anxiety when smoking weed. I know they're good, but I can't help that I react the way I do. I'll give it some time and hopefully I'll get over it.

    You have no idea how my panic attacks get when I eat/drink something that can harm me. I overreact to everything. I could barely drink any coffe a week ago. I get really extreme panic attacks. It gets so bad to the point where I get a psychosis (No joke). I'm afraid that if I try some kind of SSRI and end up having a panic attack instead, I experience the side effects. Just because I panicked. But I don't know if it's true or not. Can you experience any side effects only if you've taken too much? Or can they occur when having a panic attack aswell?
