Elsie,
Sorry I don't know much about this.
I suffered from something similar after taking low-dose perphenazine for several years. Sitting or lying down was followed by a sensation of the building moving back and forth, as in an earthquake. This happened not long after there really was a mild earthquake and at first I thought these were after-shocks- till I realized no one else was feeling them. It turned out that my blood pressure was low and this may have been caused by the perphenazine. Several months later I suffered from what seemed to be some sort of adrenal crisis and and one of the symptoms was severe vertigo.
What medication are you taking? Is your hypotension getting worse? Have you seen your doctor? Your symptoms may not necessarily be caused by the meds.
I hope you feel better.Kari.
