Dizziness and Tiredness from Mental Health Medication?

Any dizziness and/or tiredness related to the meds that I'm on? I've been on Lithium for years, but also Mirtazapine, Guanfacine, Propranolol and I just recently quit abilify. Please let me know. This has been going on for months now and might be interfering with work!!

Lithium was killer for me. Saved my life for sure. Wouldn't be here without it. I Was on it for many years but was so excited to get off of it. I did so mostly bc I started to get nystagmus when I didn't eat with it (basically your eyes move up and down or side to side very quickly and continuously and you can't stop it you just have to let it play out. and it makes you super dizzy and nauseous and exhausted) idj if you're having any of that? Are any of the media your on now? Like the propranolol? Did this start after doing off the Abilify? Bc, I know going off an antipsychotic can mean terrible withdrawal and just gross feelings. I had that with Seroquel. It as hard as shit for quite a while.

They say it's always normal, so I don't get what the deal is. 😥
