I take the same supplements and have been on a variety of drugs from the Xanax class. Never Xanax so I can't speak to that.
However, I have taken lorazapem, and found it helpful. However, it does slow down your nervous system. Is it possible that is making you feel vertigo? Because your reaction times are slowed, etc? I didn't have that problem, but I know when you take things in that class, it makes you feel slowed down and kinda funny when you move around.
Hope you are feeling better!
