@birdierobin I know mine was from the gabapentin . I never was that dizzy before and taking a shower was scary in the tub. I stopped it and it hasn't happened since . At one point several years ago I had vestibular problems the ear Dr sent me for testing and this all came back o.k. so he told me just to do the ear exercise I did them for a month and it did the trick . I did have some slight dizziness so started them again once or twice I was fine. Do you have any ear problems? That is the worse feeling . If so I,ll give you the ear exercise they are online. If you think it maybe you ears I would check with a ENT first.

Lioness- I have had a lot of ear testing at a vertigo clinic and I did test positive for the BPPV. After doing the exercises with or without them for three months, it hasn’t helped. I have gave up. The second opinion at Mayo is needed for that too! I’m busy in the tub in the kitchen living room I just hold on to everything and I have fallen several times fortunately I have not been hurt other things I’ve been broke. I fell onto $151 wooden bowl I had sitting on my coffee table and broke it! I did fall down the basement steps but I held onto the railing I hurt my foot for about three months but nothing major. I carry a big Walkingstick very big one that helps me walk when a regular cane does not. Dizzy pills don’t help at all I don’t take any medicine.
I have had months of therapy and I’m currently doing three days a week and Fitness Center for my balance nothing is helping
