Hello,

sorry for my poor english, i'm French, try to find people sharing their sad experiences and need support.

Since one year and a half i experience constant dizinesswhile truning my head, walking, turning my eyes ...always!) at that time i withdrawed duloxetine at only 30 mg after it was a nightmare!!!! went to psychiatry hospital they tried several medications (a nightmare) dizziness severe severe (of course only me experimented this , the others had no problems!!!!!) i ended up one year later with lamictal 50 (upping the dose was too much and 50 is also kind of too much for dizziness!!) added on prozac 10 mg , i try to get off lysanxia benzo for xanax as it is short half life and wean off lorazepam for the night , my psychiatrist is really not concerned telling it is in my head, i saw an oto neurologist to do vestibular rehab but i even can not take a car or taxi as i am sick! depression worse with this! i suspect lamictal not to help, oto neuro tells me to take only an antidepressant and i have different responses from others...tired of all this.... do not want to to do rehab as the medication is not yet stable for depression and dizziness problem, .....sorry for this pessismistic message, just would like to know if someone has a severe case like me; my mother is caring all the chores, i can do absolutely nothing!!!! tired of doctors , specialists and medications for which they deny the adverse effect . thank you everyone

cannot walk 100m!!!!!

    I have pretty much the same dizziness issues like you do. When im moving my eyes/head/vision i will feel dizzy.

    Do you have headaches with the dizziness? How did it started?

    Your English is fine. I have been suffering from constant vertigo 24/7 for over two years now. I've been to ent's, neurologists and tried lots of pills exercises and am now waiting for my apt at the viticulture clinic at the university of Michigan on the 10th.

    This dizziness has become so severe the last several months I'm literally at a loss for what to do. I own a music studio my family has had for over 35 years and I am unable to work. I have a 16 year old daughter who is very active in competitive dance that I can't be involved in. I have a husband who is trying his best to be supportive but I know he wants his wife back. My life has been put on hold and I'm loosing my mind laying her e

    every day thinking of everything I should be doing. ...

    I just wanted to let you know your not alone!

    Patti

      ​I have to do rehab but I have no strenght, it is too much for me to handle.........

      ....every single minute I am thinking of this, as it is like a second skin....

      ​Every night, I am dreaming about it, the first thing I think when I open my eyes is .....another day with vertigo I cant escape my body....

      Do you have rotational vertigo or is it more dizziness, lightheadedness?  I have read good things about the Michigan clinic.  One of the top rated in the US.
