In reply to Xanax - dizziness and depression?, posted by CK1 on March 24, 2006, at 19:18:51
Some kind of bipolar cycling could be at play. It could be other chemical cycling too though, stress related, such as cortisol which ultimately affects thyroid and the brain. Maybe just keep coffee and sugar way down, eat healthy and often, lots of fluids, vitamins, proteins, etc.
On the other hand, maybe it's none of those things. Maybe it's just a longterm affect of the xanax slowly dampening things down over time. I love that antidepressant effect of xanax, but I'm not sure how long that continues before the brain receptors adjust and then things aren't the same.
I don't know about the dizziness, but I doubt such a low dose of xanax would do that, especially after all the time you've been taking it.
