Dizziness after taking Nexito LS
My father (65 years) is undergoing anxiety treatment since Nov 2024. He was prescribed Nexito 10 followed by Nexito Forte at night and Etilaam for a month. He was feeling much better at this point and all his anxiety related symptoms had gone. 3 weeks back, on his review visit with doctor, he was taken off Etilaam and prescribed Nexito LS, likely tapering off. After starting Nexito LS, he initially started feeling dizzy and now since the past week, his head is spinning. Is this expected from this treatment and is it normal? What is causing this uneasiness? He is otherwise fit and takes blood pressure medications on a daily basis. Non-diabetic and healthy diet. Please advise. Thanks
