Anyone with Meniere's Disease been prescribed Betahistine?

My husband is on betahistine and Lasix for his meniers didn't find that it did to much but again maybe it did. With the side effects of the different medications one never knew what was real or side affect. He wasn't able to function "normally" for awhile he went days in bed in fetal position not being able to keep anything down as he was so dizzy. At times when I took him to emerg as he got dehydrated he felt a bit better with iv fluids but it seemed like it just had to wait for it to pass....... so frusterating as mentally u just feel helpless not being able to do normal daily activities (even getting out of bed and get dressed ) just started a return to work after not being able to work for 2 yrs. Hang in there you got this!!

Trishanna, you weren't as shocked as I was when my ex and I divorced and I learned I had no credit, even though I had always paid all the bills. He kept the house, furnishings (everything!), and all the bank accounts. (The alternative was to drag the kids into it and fight it out...he said he'd ask for custody even though he didn't want the kids, just to get the house.) The kids and I started over from scratch. Fortunately, I had a far better job that paid very well, so it all worked out although I'll never forget my daughter saying, "we don't have a TV!" I reminded her that we also didn't have a table or chairs or a lamp or much of anything else. Still, I paid high interest when I scraped together enough to buy a house, all because I had no credit. I maintain that I had a totally liberated divorce!

My dr just prescribed it to me today! What is your experience with it ??

May I asked why he was able to return back to work? Did his vertigo dissipate ? I haven’t been able to work or drive and I’m wondering how long I’ll be disabled. Thank you

He was able to go back as he was feeling a bit better he still has the ringing in the ears and has help with the hearing aid to hear also he still has the fullness in his head at times but he hasn't been in bed in fetal position for awhile and hasn't been dizzy so he is on a return to work slow process but so far so good. 😉

Ugh! I know the feeling all too well! Glad he’s feeling better.. Seems the tinnitus and pressure is never ending !

Does anyone know how to create a post as opposed to only replying to one ? Thanks
