Questions re: SSRI/SNRI for chronic VM dizziness
Hello all,
I've read about a lot of positive experiences with SSRI's and SNRI's and chronic dizziness. I was diagnosed with vestibular migraines roughly a year ago, and have been experience the textbook symptoms for about 18 months. It never ever goes away, it only varies in intensity. My experience is pretty much 24/7 rocking/swaying like I'm on a boat feeling, with periods of feeling a swirling sensation and more traditional dizziness during more intense bouts. Binocular vision has been a major issue as well.
I've decided it's time to speak to my doctor about SSRI/SNRI treatment, but have some basic concerns about side effects and the difficulty some people have with eventually getting off of them. If anyone has some good questions or tips that I should speak to my doctor about regarding these drugs, I would appreciate the help.
I know there are a lot of good resources here regarding them, and I will continue to investigate. Thanks a lot!
