Hi Mrs G,
I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to take daily meds. It really goes against the grain for me too. But like Brian said to find a med that works is such a relief and to claim your life back to some extent has got to be good.
I started on beta-blockers Metoprolol Tartrate around two months ago on a very small dose (50mg per day). This was because I am very sensitive to side effects (Pizotifen wrote off 12weeks of my life last year!). So far so good. After a month I increased the dose to 100mg a day. I have also started taking vitamin B compound at the same time. Although the dizzy spells have not decreased in number, the verocity of them and my recovery time have seriously improved. I am wiped out for the rest of the day, not the 5 to 7 days as was the case. For me this is a major step forward. I have also been taking Rizatriptan meltlets which are fab for knocking the vertigo on the head but do nothing for the rest of the migraine. So at present I’m the best I’ve been for the last six years!
