Since I’ve stopped it I’m experiencing extreme dizziness and this really heavy pressure in my head which makes it feel really tight and like my head is about to fall off! </P> <P>Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this? It’s very debilitating and scary even though my doctors have said it’s normal. </P> Thu, 12 Dec 2019 20:58:56 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/dizziness-pressure-in-head/m-p/502785#M41759 annabay 2019-12-12T20:58:56Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/dizziness-pressure-in-head/m-p/502786#M41760 <P>Hi annabay,</P> <P>Thanks for your post.
