Dizziness 24/7 from Lexapro?

I have been taking Xanax off and on for over 10 years. I have never taken more than 0.25mg unless I was having a severe panic attack and never more than once a day when I take it.

How dangerous would this be? I don’t have any history of seziures and I’ve only taken 100mg of tramadol. I looked it up and I’m getting conflicting information. I have very bad anxiety and marijuana helps me a lot with that but I want to make sure it’s safe.
