i began vestib rehab, three times ...i took pills for anxiety, benzodiazepine , sedative ad, and seems to lessen the vertigos but is it good take them or not , does the ear recover and gets stimulated despite those meds? thanks
Indications that I have read are that benzodiazepines will "delay" compensation. Maybe titrate down as you get more use to doing them. The sensations need to be felt for the brain to begin the compensation process.
As vezes que precisei fazer reabilitação, fui informado de que não poderia tomar nenhum medicamento que afete o sistema vestibular. Você não pode retreinar se estiver sendo suprimido por medicamentos. O mesmo vale para os testes. Precisa estar sem supressores vestibulares por 3 dias ou o teste não será preciso.
the problem is I need to take benzo for anxiety and for walking , so i dont know how to go there....but i guessed that it is not good for the inner ear to recover.....I think you are right
not easy issue....without meds
O que eu contei para minha terapeuta. O Diazepam torna o trajeto de carro para a terapia quase tolerável. Ela disse que é inútil fazer a terapia se eu estiver tomando um supressor. Contraprodutivo. Chego muito cedo nas consultas. Fico no carro com minha esposa por meia hora antes de entrar e espero minha cabeça se recuperar.
I also would like to know if somebody knows duloxetine antidepressant ued for neuropathy issues, my doctor mentionned this meds for anxiety but afraid as you said it suppress the vestibular function...the doctor does not know..
E sim, a ansiedade é um problema. Saber que não tomei nada e que a viagem de carro vai ser ruim torna tudo mais difícil. Além disso, saber que o terapeuta vai fazer coisas que te deixam tonta de propósito. Depois, ter que voltar para casa ainda mais tonta.
they did not tell me anything , they just told me we ll try to do with them.....
yes i am afraid of panic attacks so i took a xanax before
Bem, de forma alguma sou médico ou terapeuta. Mas foi isso que me disseram. Também me disseram que se não for feito corretamente, não vai funcionar. Então é um caminho difícil, pois você tem que desprogramar seu cérebro e depois reprogramar.
O diazepam 2 mg é tudo o que eu sempre tomo. Me disseram que algumas pessoas tomam xanax. Alternam entre os dois para evitar a resistência
yes i have experienced no benzo for some weeks , i could not walk 100m without everything messed up and end up with panic attack, all the brain upside down in terms of perceptions, frightening feeling hard to control, i ll try to make rehab without xanax next time....i will try...
yes what i am doing , i only had a few mg long lasting benzo but did anything , i withdraw (awful) i have panic attacks since three weeks and vertigo dizziness in full force so i took a xanax today to be able to go there
Hi Anne - I guess everyone is wired differently but I was recently put on Phenergren and Prednisone. I am also on Xanax for Fibromyalgia. Although the meds helped me with the nausea and dizziness, they came with a lot of baggage. The Phenergren created all sorts of male difficulties, that's for sure. I took the meds for 10 days and my doctor took me off of them. I'm hoping my vertigo stays in check.
How long will you be on them? Have you tried the exercise for dizziness and vestibular where you kneel down, look up, look to your left and the dizziness disappears?
I hope you recover fuly and wish you the best.
no i dont know this exercise, i ll do it, thank you glenn
Duloxetine, Cymbalta, is an SSNRI and does not supress the vestibular system. It affects chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced, serotonin and norepinephrine. Only the benzodiazapenes should be avoided for therapy.
ok thank you Terry for this information, i ll try without benzo if possibe, i did not know this information, thank you
There are things that they can give you for the ongoing anxiety that will not impact the compensation. Have you considered that you may actually have vestibular migraines?
the doctor did not told me about that for instance....what meds for anxiety if not benzos? thank you
