balance problem

[evelyne vandersand]

Hi Friends,
Before and after surgery, my major problem has been a badly affected sens of balance in spite of regular physical exercice. 3 years after my surgery, one doctor told me to try "dyazide" telling me that nothing has been written in medical books about that but only 30 years a practice has shown him that many patients respond to this medication. It is a water pill and seems to change the viscosity of liquid inside the inner ear... All I can tell you is that it works for me and it is an huge relief. I still get dizzy but I recover right away instead of staying dizzy for hours after a strong dizzy spell. Dizziness does not seem to affect many patients on a long term basis but for the few like me, check it out.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. My ENT prescribed Ativan for my dizzy episodes. But after several months on this, it is not working as well. The concept of the effects of liquid in the inner ear sure makes sense to me. On days that I am even a little congested the dizziness is much worse.

Thank you!

I have not had any treatment at this time but I have found that on days I am feeling a little dizzy I take psuedofed and it helps and doesn't make me sleepy.

Hi
  Seems with the 'Dyazide", Dr. is hypothetically treating you for Menieres Disease. Maybe ask him?
  I'm glad it helps, however it helps!! - smile -

Thanks for mentioning another drug.  My mom is having severe vertigo and nausea.  The first anti-vert drug she tried-which they all around the nursing home call Anti-Vert-worked for about a week.  (Dizziness went from a 10 to a 6.)  This weekend she's trying out Klonopin.  Any experience with this one?
