are you talking about a vistibular problem?

[Hidden in reply to p57rosie]

I believe so. Vertigo I was told.

[p57rosie in reply to Hidden]

had (still have) it. if they haven't already given you some meclizine 25mg, you can get it at any pharmacy, no prescription needed, or online at healthpharmacy.com for $5.99. You get 100 chewable little tablets. but can't take more than 6 a day which is more than you'll need anyway. I take it on days when I feel off balance and is affecting my walking. I also did the vestibular therapy which didn't help at all I don't think. I was told that I had a vestibular disfunction because I felt off balance when walking, and felt dizzy. I now contribute it all to anxiety atfer I was diagnose with anxiety because those are also symptoms of anxiety and would explain why the therapy didn't work. Get some meclizine or any meds that help with sea sickness. They help quite a bit. Meclizine, like xanax, is a lifesaver for me.

I took meclizine but that only made it worse. I decided to stop it and I feel better with out it. I'm looking into a medication that doesn't cause any type of drowsiness because that'll trigger for me to get a vertigo episode.

oh i'm sorry. I hope you will find what works for you. Also, when I feel the dizziness, I find that laying down on my back, maybe even falling asleep for an hour or so, really works. Gets rid of the dizziness. I was wondering if this come on because maybe I move my head too fast? Crazy? lol Worse things have happened. lol

Yes sleeping helps for me except that sometimes I feel like I'm in a roller coster when I close my eyes lol. Yes differently the worse experience ever! I had my first attack on Wednesday morning I swear I though I was dying! Still scary but now I know what it is so like you said I lay and fall asleep and it works
