Has anyone with MD tried Seabands? My doctors want me off the Valium and Meclizine. I picked up a pair today to try out, but was curious if anyone else has tried them and if they got any results.

Where do you find MD patches, I took my son to college over a week ago and the vertigo hasn’t left me. The low salt diet works a little but stress is a big factor for me. I want those patches 😀

I've not tried them but will be curious if they may work, I would not be too optimistic. I took myself off Valium 4 months ago and started using a CBD oil with a very small mixture of THC oil (e.g. Medical Cannabis) and it has worked wonders. I would take one small vapor puff only when I was overly stressed and felt dizziness coming on. This eliminated any Vertigo attacks and did not make me sleepy and tired like the Valium. I did this for the first 6-8 weeks after I received the oil and since then I have not had a dizzy spell. I have not used it for the past 2 months but keep it handy, just in case. I have been free of Vertigo attacks for 4 months since I have been using this, it has really changed my life. It is only available for sale and use in a few states in the US but I believe in the next year or two most all states will allow it. It has been the only thing that has eliminated my debilitating vertigo without knocking me out for 3-4 hours like Valium and Zanax. Good luck Brandy.

Hi Judy:
First off Zanex does not help, my doctor put me on it because my Meniers seemed to be triggered by stress and she thought it would help with that, but it did not work. I use an oil that has both CBD and THC in it, both are generated from Cannabis, however, the CBD oil is legal in all 50 states as it does not have any hallucinogenics in it. The THC is what you find in pot. It is currently only legal in a few states in the USA. The oil mixture I use is primarily CBD with a small amount of THC, this works for me when I feel a dizzy spell coming on. I take just one deep inhale from a vapor pipe and that is all i need. If you are in a location where THC is illegal you can try basic CBD oil as this may work for you. Here is a couple of links that provide further insight into this....

I hope this helps. Greg

Why do they want you off it? It’s amazing these doctors act like we’re drug addicts needing a fix. I bet if they ever had to live with this, they’d be writing the prescriptions for themselves. Good luck to you. 😊

They claim the meds only "mask" the symptoms, they don't fix them. I'm not uneducated and they all know I'm a nurse by trade. Isn't the point to mask the symptoms? So we can lead a semi-normal life most days? They don't suffer from it, so they have no idea of the helplessness we go through during an attack or the ensuing depression/anxiety.
