Jacquie802 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi guys,I really don't know what to do anymore. My dizziness has gotten soo bad that I feel as though I'm going to vomit...The Midodrine seems to be doing nothing for me anymore. I honestly don't know what more to do. My BP doesn't seem to shabby...about 107/64. Anyone got any ideas?thanksJacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi Jaquie, I am so sorry that you are having such a terrible time. I use Gravol as a last resort when I am feeling so dizzy that I get severe nausea. It totally knocks me out, and for me, often 1/4 of a tablet is enough. I try to use it only when I know I am going to be able to sleep - before bedtime, or if I know I can nap. Gravol helps with nausea, but also can work for dizziness. Hope this helps.

Jacquie802 Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi Bee,I actually had a vestibular problem last year, but I don't think this is in any relation to it...Who knows though?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Midodrine made me feel horrendous too. I can't take it without going loopy. Remind me- have you tried epogen/procrit?Hope you feel better soon Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I have never tried the Procrit/Epogen. I think the next med on the list is going to me Mestinon. It's weird. I thought the Midodrine was helping for a while, but now it doesn't seem to really do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnleaf Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Ginkgo has been helping me quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hi J..I certainly hope that whatever is causing this in you tends to go away sooner than later..Hang in there..Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi Jacquie,My kids and I get very bad vertigo and other dizzeness, I take Cinnarizine 15mg 4/ day to reduce vertigo, and it helps a little with the other dizzeness as well. The Dr.'s seem to try out meds that are designed for manegment of Menier's disease. Do you take any of these kinds on meds.?Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 My dizziness sometimes gets really bad and I can't figure out why or when it will happen.Some things do increase it like not sleeping well, busy day, getting a cold, allergies, and hormonal changes.Or nothing I can put my finger on. It eventually gets better.Hope yours gets better and soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arh0006 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I take Meclazine when I get too dizzy. The only problem is it really wipes me out. Midodrine does not stop my dizzy spells either, but it does reduce the amount of blackouts I have in a day and give me more energy with elevated BP and all.Hope you find a good med that works for you.
