been doing great now for months on 20mg of celexa it has been a lifesaver

but i still get this feeling that scares me
its always when i am sitting down

I sometimes get a split second feeling of dizzyness, feel slightly faint, and it comes with what feels like a head or adrenaline rush. It lasts seconds, can sometimes feel like I'm falling depending on what I'm doing
i have to like jump back or to the side

all my tests have been normal
im scares this is some kind of seizure

i do suffer from migraines

If these are occuring with your migraines, it could be part of the prodrome or aura part...do you tend to get the headache and all the rest later?

If not, then I would think that it is anxiety related. It is not an uncommon sensation...remember we had a thread about it here not long ago?

Besides that, you know that your test results and docotors have told you that you are not at risk for a seizure...no more than I or anyone else is...

The thing about health anxiety is, the more you pay it attention...the worse and more powerful it can become...so put your effort towards relaxation and coping mechanisms when your mind starts in on this worry.

Spend 10-15 minutes a couple of times a day on meditation and/or progressive muscle relaxation to lessen your anxiety and symptoms.

I am glad to read that all in all, you have been feeling better!;) This is great news...keep up the good work.

It sounds like vertigo. I get that a lot. Sometimes I will just be sitting down, or just relaxing and move my head and it's almost like the world spins for a second, and I'm completely off balance. It scares me and I get a jolt of adrenaline the second after it happens.

Sometimes I find that I've been anxious and holding my breath when this happens.

hey, this happens to me a lot. Is vertigo a symtom of anxiety ? I read it can be psychotic, so I usually ignore it, but when i get a dizzy spell and an immediate adrenaline rush it is hard to calm down, as I am scared of getting a panic attack
