Stress/Anxiety-?

I've had md for 20 yrs and finally lost hearing in both ears. Along with the tinittus and exacerbated sounds I was getting very depressed. I've tried several anti deppresants with different outcomes and side affects. I recommend a specialist rather than a gp to prescribe. there are lots of side affects. all the best and good luck.

Hi Kelly,

I've been diagnosed with MD since 2012. About a year ago I went onto antidepressants. Its more for Anxiety as I was struggling to go out to work/socialise etc.. I take Sertraline 50mg once a day. I also had some counseling which helped.

Go and talk to you GP or ENT consultant they both can prescribe meds, there was some initial side effects but stop after a few weeks.. I will stay on them for as long as I need them as I feel they have helped me.

Good luck and take care.

hi kelly are you on serc tablets

Yes, I tried them last summer. I was prescribed Prozac hoping it would help alleviate my dizziness/anxiety, but it did not. It also affected my mood in a negative way. I felt more short-tempered and aggitated after being on it for about 6 weeks. i stopped taking it at 8 weeks. The pharmacist told me i probably wouldnt see a difference until about 8-10 weeks so maybe I didnt give it long enough, but i was just too unhappy on it to continue. What has relieved my vertigo for the past 19 months has been 1) taking antiviral medication Acyclovir 2) taking a diuretic pill once per week 3) eating healthier 4) drinking more water 3) taking gingko biloba and lysine supplements

I had anti anxiety prescribed by my neurologist because he will always think its like a panic attack and triggered due to anxiety and stress. I had it for a month and it didn't work at all. I stopped after the first month and I still go for follow up to my neurologist but completely worthless.

I have but I have been on the same meds since 1998 I cant tell if it works or not I feel bad all the times
