Cocypridiol (dianette)
In 2016 I was prescribed co cyprindiol also known as dianette for my severe acne, although after 3/4 months of taking this it has cleared every spot I had and get no break out soon at all just the odd spot at that time of the month last sept 2017 I started suffering from severe dizziness and anxiety. I was told by my gp I needed to get my ears syringed as that may be causing the dizziness which I did! It’s been 6 months since this and every day is still a challenge for me 
I wake up and the start of the day is fine but as the day progresses I start feeling really lightheaded and panicky. Some days I struggle to even concentrate because of the way I feel. I try my hardest to over come this feeling but find it very hard as I’m constantly worrying about this dizzy feeling I constantly feel. Almost as though it’s a vicious circle. I’m wondering if after being on co cyprindiol for over 2 years could this drug be causing me anxiety? I’ve had several blood tests to rule out heath conditions like anaemia - thyroid problems and diabetes etc and all have been fine! I have no life stresses and no reason why I should be suffering with this. I’m trying really hard to avoid going on anxiety medication as I don’t want to go down that road. Can some one please help advise if they have ever had this or a similar experience when taking this medicine? Help!
