A member asked:
Why do some anxiety medications cause dizziness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety: Anxiety stimulates release of norepinephrine from brain which stimulates your metabolic functions and your arousal system to give you the physical symptoms . Medications that reverse this effect and quiet down the arousal response lead to sedation.
