Eye dizziness or weird sensations in and around eyes?
I'm not even sure if eye dizziness is an official term or not. lol but thats the best way I cant describe whats been bothering me for the past 4-5 days. I get regular head dizziness but this is a new weird feeling thats concentrated around my eyes. I thought maybe it was something to do with my sinus' or this massive headache i was getting over...but im not sure. I guess I just want reassurance that its something somewhat normal. The "eye dizziness" does get worse when I move suddenly, and my pupils seem to be smaller than usual. I just recently started taking Accutane and I have several mental illness': depression, general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive complusive disorder, social anxiety. (not sure if that matters but just thought i'd put it out there. Oh and I very recently stopped taking my antidepressants(slowly and with psychiatrist approval and supervision) its only been 5 days since i stopped taking them completely(but id never heard of eye dizzines as being a withdrawl symptom.) anyways id really appreciate any input from anyone! Thanks :)

depression, general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, yes..all of these can contribute to cause dizziness.
Especially the panic disorder, your blood flow increases which greatly affects the heart rate and the blood flow through the brain. Remember that eye is directly connected to the brain. That's why it gets severe when you move suddenly.
Accutane?I'm not so sure about this. But since most of antidepressants withdrawal can cause a wide range of side effects after using, that can be. You can wait till a week, for you to determine if it has to do about the withdrawal of your meds. But if you can still feel it, better to consult your psychiatrist first.

You may want to ask your doctor about the eye dizziness, this has happened to me. When i was sick i was given multiple medications and for the first few days i would get dizzy, but what seems to be in common with you and me is when I would suddenly move my eyes and my head would hurt and i would get these terrible headaches. Your "eye dizziness" may be caused by taking Accutane, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with you getting of your anti-depressant.
Hope I helped.

I think what you are talking about is when the nerves jump near the eye. It's very annoying. It can be caused by lack of sleep/being tired, over exposure to light (like looking at a computer screen or tv a lot), etc. Look it up some more if it sounds like what you are talking about.
