Has anyone ever felt like this?????

Hi I have been suffering with this feeling for about 10 months. I"ll give the history as quick as I can, I was on xanax from June 2007 till June 2008. In the end of Jan 2008 i started feeling dizzy, off balance, I didn't have vertigo (spinning) i just felt every movement I made, example, walking down the stairs, after i was down them my body felt like I was still moving. Walking felt like I was walking on cotton. For about 3 months i felt I was being pulled to the left. If i turned my head while I was walking, omg it felt real weird. Ok . In may 2008 i started to wean off of xanax and did VRT therapy (vestibular therapy) by Jun 2008 I was done xanax and feeling alot better. so good that I had days when I didn't feel weird at all. Oh yea I couldn't go into stores or be around bright lights while this was going on. ok, I noticed since I do have some bad days my anxiety goes throuhg the roof. I worry it will come back. Also I feel it at the oddest times, could be right in the middle of something,(totaly focus) and bam here it comes. I had every test done. my brain doesn't have any tumors, my heart is good and I don't take any meds at all. except advil. I am very sensative to everything I can feel when my pant leg is wrinkled on my leg, if my sinuss are stuffed my head feels awful, I seem to make these things worse.  And I am aware of this. But darn this dizzy happened to me for a reason 10 months ago, now whats my reason? I really would like to know if anyone has had this happen? I can't chalk it all up to anxiety. Could xanax be my problem even though I've been off of it since june. I read pretty bad stories about benzos and there side effects, I am soo depressed, thinking I'm gonna be like this forever.hollygirl

Hey Holly, i sympathise with MANY of those feelings and symptoms. i guess they are part of the whole AP/med package- i try not to think about it too much, but yeah, it can be really unsettling. Have you spoken to your physician about these symptoms? make a list- journal them and write them down, and then adress each of your concerns with your doctor-

keep us posted, stay strong,
