I'm new to vestibular migraine. I was diagnosed 21 days into my 1st sever episode by a physiotherapist. She worked on C1,2 and 3 vertebrae and most of my symptoms went away immediately. It seems my vestibular migraines are caused by hormones. The physio suggested that this treatment works for a number of people.

Stimetil is designed to work on the fluid in the middle ear vestibular migraine it's not the same as vertigo. so if you take Stimetil and it works you're not having a vestibular migraine you're suffering from vertigo.

Hi there, I have had MAV 24/7 for 8 years. The only thing that I have found to help is Nortriptyline . I am now able to work a few days and go for walks etc. Totally house bound before this drug.
Look up a Dr Reaburn Forbes in the UK, he is a specialist and has info available on his webpage.
Hope you get some help soon.

I was just diagnosed with vestibular migraines in September 2017 and it was an ENT doctor who diagnosed me. I started getting severe episodes of dizzines and went to urgent care where I was diagnosed with vertigo and was given meclizine to take. After a few days I started to feel better, but had 2 severe episodes of dizziness and I saw another doctor who gave Ativan for my dizziness. When I finally got a referral to my ENT doctor, he said that meclizine and Ativan was making my dizziness worse. I was off those meds for a week and returned to work. When I went back to work, I still felt dizzy. I asked my ENT doc for medication to help me with the dizziness and he prescribed me nortriptyline. I started off at a dose of 25 mg and I am now taking 50 mg of nortriptyline. I have noticed a bit of improvement, but I still get dizzy. I am hoping the nortriptyline will help me, otherwise I would have to switch to another medication. What dose of nortriptyline are you on?

I was diagnosed with VM in Sept. 2017. My ENT doc prescribed nortriptyline for my dizziness. I started on 25 mg and I took it for 2 weeks, then my dosage was increased to 50 mg after that. I have been on 50 mg of nortriptyline for almost 3 weeks now. I do see a slight improvement, but I'm not sure if its because I changed my diet as well. I looked up the migraine free diet and have been avoiding foods that can trigger migraines. I still get severe dizziness when I am out in public. I start back at work next week and I am hoping it goes well. I work in a hospital and it's already a stressful environment to be in. Stress can cause dizziness as well. What dose of nortriptyline are you on?

I am also on notriptyline 50mg and it has been more or less successful over the past few months (originally tried amitriptyline, but it didn't work for me). I have been suffering from severe vertigo for many years and was only diagnosed with VM in the past couple. I have found that my quality of life has massively improved since and for the most part I lead a normal life, with a few incidents every now and then that might keep me away from work for a day or so. I am also keeping an eye on my diet (eg, I am avoiding chineze takeaways and anything with MSG.

I saw Dr. Daniel Gold at Hopkins. He diagnosed me with VM. Taking Effexor 100 mg. a day but not helping very much.

Can you give me an idea on your new diet? I've just been diagnosed but I do not want to be put on any more medications (I have lupus) so I'd like to do this naturally.
