My experience-I am curious in learning more about people's journeys with vestibular migraine

---

I've had both vestibular (painless) migraines and classical migraines for the past almost 2 years and I'm finally starting to come around and accept my diagnosis. I was in denial for the longest time because i was worried that my doctors were missing something worse, trying to treat with supplements alone, etc. I would take a classical migraine over silent/vestibular migraines any day of the week, but I have unfortunately not found anything that gives me any significant relief from the vestibular kind. Basically, at this point, I am so desperate for relief from these vestibular episodes that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get back to normal.

​

My journey right now is: gluten-free diet/exercise/magnesium+COQ10 (not effective) --> Propranolol 40 mg/day (not effective yet, but unclear if dose needs to go higher), and I haven't gone any further

​

What im curious in trying next: Venlafaxine, Memantine, Amitriptyline/Nortriptyline, and Klonapin for acute vestibular attacks. Maybe Lamotrigine. I am not really interested in Topamax because I am worried about cognitive effects, which is one of my symptoms (Cognitive Decline/Brain Fog).

​

Curious to hear what has worked for other people based on the schema above with:
Therapy (dosage) (effective/not effective) --> next thing tried

​

Thank you all, and best of luck to everyone else struggling right now. Excuse my lack of eloquence and poor writing --> I am in the middle of an episode right now and antivert isnt doing much. Thanks!
