Saw my neuro ENT today and he upped the med to 20mgs today, said to take 20 mgs at night only and maybe next month if needed he will start me using them in the morning. A little apprehensive as usual but hoping it helps more than it is.

    Why did he tell you to take them at night Patty - did he say it was better for your dizziness?  Just wondering if I should take mine at night as well (10mg)

      Hi

      Didn't really say why night only, I did ask him if you wanted me to take 10 at night and 10 during the day and he said no let's take 20 at night and then we'll see next month how things are going. Good question now. Are yours bothering you taking them during the day? If so you might want to call and see if taking it at night might be better.

      No Patty they cause no bother at all but when I have taken it at night (my GP told me to take them as and when i need one so I try to do without some days ) I have found that I do not wake up feeling dizzy and generally start the day quite well.  I was thinking that I may take mine at night all of the time so I will be interested to hear whether you find this better too.  Maybe you could ask him next time youn see him?
