I was taking serc for some time. A new doctor changed the medication to flunarizine. The dizzzyness got more permanent. Is this typical?

Hi I have been on serc for years if I stop I have severe dizziness

Again, I can take 16mgs x3 a day but now it has settled I am ok on only 16mg x 2 a day

I don't know how I would manage without it. Hope things improve for you

Thanks daisy. I was taking the same dosage you are now taking and I was fine. I think I will go back to 16mg 2x a day. May I know what time of the day you take it. I usually take one tablet at breakfast and another one at dinner. I'm learning not to chnage medication too much. Things don't necessarily get better.

Hi yes that's when I take it, if I needed another it would be mid day as I never forget to eat !

Good luck
