@texasdutchess- It looks like you are taking a lot of supplements to help reduce anxiety. Could they be interfering with each other? Overloading on serotonin? There is an illness called Serotonin Syndrome. Also for vertigo have you ever taken Antivert? It will help make you sleepy too. You will need an Rx for it. It worked very well for me when my migraines were really bad.
