how long have you been off the beta blockers, and what was it? i was on effexor, and i was taken off of it because it caused me to faint from dizziness. when i came off of it, it got worse, and i couldnt stand for a couple weeks. maybe you should talk to your doctor about this too.

Feeling faint and woozy

I've been off them for a while now, over 6 months.I think this is partly a mental thing - I feel very dissociated at the moment, when I reach out my arm to get something it's like watching it on TV almost. I don't know how normal this is. I just feel a total wreck right now, my mind has been doing somersaults. I have spent the last 3 hours feeling suicidal almost and yet now feel better. Maybe I've lost the plot? Feels just like being on a rollercoaster, blindfolded, metaphorically speaking (Although the way my stomach felt earlier this could be taken literally)The best relief I used to get was the comforting embrace of dreams and even they have been horrible recently. If I'm not mad now, I'll probably send myself mad by thinking that I am And you thought I was just some dude with a dody foreskin

What you describe just sounds like the classic symptons of depression. I don't think there is anything wrong with you physically. I think the problem with your ears might be just growing pains, your body still going through changes so I don't thinks that's anything to worry about. But I am not a doctor so make sure you see your doctor about any problems you have questions about (remember he's seen it all before).Do you or have you ever thought of seeing a counsellor? Your doctor could find you some contacts. Talking may help

PM sent - thankyou animal. I am seeing someone, but it's slow going. He seemed to think the feeling of disosicaition or "Am I really here" was more to do with being tired from my new job, worried about doing things right, the pressure etc. But I think I have felt like this for a long time. It's so very hard to explain, but I just don't feel me. I know it sounds cliched, but I'm not even sure if I know who I am sometimes.

good idea to always get more than one medical opinion as people can get things wrong. Don't know who you are seeing but try a counsellor as another option, they cannot diagnose any medical problems but they good at getting you to talk and understand your feelings and stuff.

You almost have same thing as me, mrmole. I'm trying to figure out what mine is too. I think it might be physchological.

I made another thread, before reading this thread - which is there for you to see, if you feel it relates to anything you feel.
I suffer from anxiety so for me it MIGHT be that, I'm not sure. However like you I was also on beta-blockers, and I haven't touched them for like 6 months either, so there's another thing we have in common. A lot of the time, certain head movements definitely do provoke dizziness and I can get it now just moving my head. I also get the bed thing, where I have to sleep in a certain position to stop the sensation, I too definitely feel I'm inside of someone else not in control. This is freakishly weird stuff.

In reply to:And you thought I was just some dude with a dody foreskinIs that true or did someone think you were somebody else? I think whoever it was might have been thinking it was me - I'm the one with the dodgy foreskin - phimosis. And I will admit, that our problems are very identical. PM me if you want.

Just been doing some research on vertigo and anxiety and there are definite links. See:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9035672&dopt=Abstracthttp://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Dizziness_and_vertigo?OpenDocumentI'm going to go with it being anxiety, for the cause. Actually come to think of it, a very long time ago when I was really little, I collapsed because of this vertigo sensation and cracked my chin. So I'll say be careful.I'm going to see a doctor about it, I was feeling terrible with it yesterday. I suggest you do the same. I hope we can both find a solution or SOMETHING than can help.
