    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.
