I took Flunarizine for 2 years for vestibular migraine and it was a godsend. Worked wonders. However I developed drug induced parkinonism from it and had to come off the drug. Unfortunately the vestibular migraine returned and has been constant since. If you take Flunarizine you will need regular check ups with a neurologist to see if you are developing drug induced parkinonism, which in most cases is reversible once the med is stopped, although this may take several months to over a year.
