Q. I have lightheadedness. Is it due to GAD medicines?
Hello doctor,
I have chest heaviness and lightheadedness along with muscular spasms.
Thank you doctor,
But, I had a TMT test and the tests were negative. The doctors say that my heart is absolutely fine. I also am on Paxidep CR 12.5 medication and Etilaam 0.5 mg tablet for GAD.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If your cardiac is normal then I do not think you should worry. Consult your doctor about decreasing the dosage of Etilaam to 0.25 because this drug can cause lightheadedness and instead I suggest starting tablet Vertin CR 24 mg (Betahistine) once a day. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent.
