My experience-Thoughts on Effexor (especially for vestibular migraines that involve vertigo attacks brought on by seasonal changes and spikes in tinnitus)?
Hey! Has anyone had any good experiences with Effexor, especially for vertigo and/or dizziness? I've heard that it can be very rough to taper off of, if needed, but it's the medication my neuro is recommending I try next + I am seeing it listed as, apparently, a common medication for migraines that involve vertigo.
While I certainly get headaches, the vertigo (along with tinnitus, which varies in intensity) is my biggest concern. If it matters, my vertigo is definitely triggered by shifts in weather and barometric pressure (this is also when my tinnitus spikes).
I'll be honest and say that I've been VERY resistant to go the medication route with this. I briefly tried nortriptyline, which seemed to just make my tinnitus even worse (tapering off it wasn't bad, though I was only on it for 2 months or so). My neuro has also had me on Diamox, which is ... fine? I was on it Dec-Feb, so not quite sure how it really affects seasonal changes (trying it again now, per my neuro—I briefly weaned off it, with my neuro's support, because I thought it was changing the type of tinnitus I had).
Anyway, I've been mostly trying to manage by seeking out routes like TMJ treatment (not the best experience), chiro (even worse experience), PT (helpful for my muscles and all that, but not really for the symptoms so far), acupuncture (sometimes helps the tinnitus, but not really), etc. But I'm getting really frustrated. I'm in my late 20s and have "only" had the vertigo and tinnitus for about two years, but I'm really determined to get better ... and so I've tried to become more open to a medication to support me on my healing journey.
