> Ironically enough, for the last two days, I've been suffering from vertigo, which I'd never really experienced before. I've been taking Lithium and Lorazepam. The doctor had me cut back on the Lithium, but I was still getting it. It's too early to tell for sure, but I stopped the lorazepam and took a xanax instead, and haven't had any more vertigo. Possibly the lorazepam?There are all sorts of reasons for vertigo. That's what makes it so hard to treat, sometimes. A doctor should be consulted if vertigo persists beyond a couple of day, as middle ear problems can be quite serious, medically.
