What Causes Dizziness?
7. Medications
Dizziness will also sometimes be caused by medication. Those most likely to cause dizziness are those that are designed to lower the blood pressure. Other potential culprits are sedatives, antidepressants, and anti-seizure medication. If you are experiencing any unexpected symptoms after having taken medication then you should speak with your doctor right away.
Recreational drugs can also cause dizziness if you use too many, and this includes alcohol. If you are feeling dizzy after using drugs or alcohol then you should try and sit down until it passes. If it does not pass, then you should ask a friend to take you home. If you know somebody that appears to be very ill after using drugs or alcohol then consider taking them to an emergency room.
