dizziness with anti mag?

Posted by mamacwb @mamacwb, Jun 18 9:54am

I have started to endure dizziness to the point of lowering myself to the floor so I wouldn't fall. I had several episodes over the last year but it has greatly increased. The dizziness seems to be related to up and down motion of my neck Neurologist says it is the neuropathy. Does anyoe else have this issue?

@mamacwb, I think you mentioned that you were on medications for your neuropathy. I think that Gabapentin, Lyrica and Cymbalta have dizziness as a listed side effect.
More information:
- Lyrica: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/pregabalin-oral-route/description/drg-20067411
- Cymbalta: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/duloxetine-oral-route/description/drg-20067247
- Gabapentin: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/duloxetine-oral-route/description/drg-20067247

Have you discussed the dizziness with your doctor or neurologist?

Yes I have discussed it with both docs but it has gotten much worse lately and I have been on those meds for a long time. I'll keep searching
