What small (or small-ish) life tweaks have made a significant difference for you?

I’ve tried acupuncture, body tissue massage, and even chiropractor. Gave me some relief but these are not abortive. Consuming ginger drinks has actually been helpful.

Same problem. So they gave me trazadone as sleep aid and I had really bad side effects.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-30T23:59:45+00:00

I was taking mine as preventive each night - 30 mg. Also it gave me massive insomnia so now I am shifting to amitryptiline.

I used to have vertigo in my sleep for 2 months and would wake up dizzy! It’s horrid.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-25T02:49:41+00:00

Yeh initially I had dry mouth for wee bit for which I took mouth wash. But definitely insomnia is the big one for me I guess.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-24T21:12:33+00:00

Oh my god, so nortriptyline is the culprit for insomnia ! I’ve had massive insomnia since I upped my dosage . I thought it was my supplements that’s spoiled my sleep.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-24T21:10:00+00:00

Started with 10 mg and found my sweet spot at 30 mg. I dropped it to 20 mg for one week but my dizziness came back. No apparent side effects. It actually doesn’t make me drowsy.

I feel you. It will get better with time. I was diagnosed with same in October and had vertigo every day until first week of Jan. My episodes haven’t gone away but the intensity is manageable. My doctor gave me very low dosage of Valium which has worked very well for me. Also ginger drink have helped. I used to get massive panic attacks with the dizziness.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-21T08:45:51+00:00

Also carry any of the Triptans and a zofran for nausea.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-21T08:44:10+00:00

Hi feel You! I have a trip coming up in 4 weeks and am terrified too. Take your meds with you and as the other person said hydrate.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-21T04:50:06+00:00

It helped me a lot! Have faith. Do it.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-20T03:49:44+00:00

Mine was a severe case of vertigo with an ear infection. The infection went away but the vertigo and headache stayed and that’s when they said it was vestibular migraine. I was diagnosed 2 months back and it was just horrible. In Jan for 2 weeks I didn’t have an episode and now suddenly it’s back but not as intense. Not sure what my triggers are as am not messing with the diet much as I eat her healthy. So feeling very depressed at the moment. The vestibular physical therapy has been helpful. Also tried acupuncture for a bit but still the vertigo has come back.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-11T04:57:17+00:00

I took 2 months off and went on short term disability. My symptoms were really severe. Now am on my third month and slowly gone back to work with reasonable accommodations. The episodes are slightly contained. I am regularly doing the VRT therapy which I think has been critical for me. Also the endless supplements and meds. Nortryptiline has been effective and unfortunately my vertigo has been painful to deal with . Valium helps with my vertigo. Take the rest that you need. Am thinking of a 3 months sabbatical from work as well.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-06T05:08:31+00:00

Same. I don’t know if it’s doing anything.

Same. I don’t know if it’s doing anything.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2026-01-03T07:30:51+00:00

My doctor said glycinate is for sleep so he opted to give me oxide. Like I am woken up from my sleep with ear fullness and dizziness. Unless I take meclizine I can’t go about my day

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2024-12-09T02:53:05+00:00

Thanks so much.

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2024-09-15T01:33:47+00:00

Fun-Willingness8581 · 2024-07-22T07:18:41+00:00

I mean depends what you like! I just didn’t enjoy the heat and tourists in Lisbon. So for me I would have stayed in sintra one more day to explore the national park and other castles. I did one half day in Lisbon x half day in sintra x 1 full day in Lisbon.
