I don't mean to scare you, but vertigo and hallucinations are a sign of Lithium toxicity. I would call your pdoc ASAP.

I'm an Advocate

How long have you been on Lithium? Have you had your levels checked yet? I would def call your doc if it persists.
I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey
