Re: Feeling weird like im dizzy and stoned everyday

Sounds like a panic attack. These attacks can sneak up on you for no reason and at any time. Do some reading regarding panic attacks and see if you fit with some of the other symptoms. Panic attacks mimic other illnesses but since you said you are depressed, I'm bet that is what is was. Maybe some medication from your GP will help for now. Good Luck Linda

Re: Feeling weird like im dizzy and stoned everyday

I agree with Linda that it sounds like anxiety. You panicked when it first happened and now you over react to everything. It's happened to me and you just have to try to relax. One other possiblility might be an inner ear virus. I had that one time quite a while ago and I was so dizzy I felt I couldn't even walk straight. The only thing the Dr. could give me was motion sickness meds . You've had the tests done and checked out ok. Try not to worry; it just makes it worse.

Re: Feeling weird like im dizzy and stoned everyday

Sounds to me like a inner ear infection or fluid in your ears..

Re: Feeling weird like im dizzy and stoned everyday

I get that way too, especially when the barometric pressure or humidity level changes. I mentioned it to my doctors, but they thought nothing of it.

Do you think it could be from side effects of the meds you are taking?

I can relate--being in this kind of "brain fog" makes it difficult to function on a day-to day basis.
