can anyone help me?
i have been taking betahistine 16mg 3 times a day for around three months , my doctors prescribed them for dizzyness. However since that time iv had a few tests etc and everything was clear all they have come up with is that im sufferering from gad ha and depression and iv been on 20mg of cit for just over two weeks.
anyway my question is , and iv tried googling and not got an answer, are there any withdrawal side effects if i just stop the betahistine because i dont really think its doing anything , i still get dizzy etc.
the reason im worried about it is because when i suggested to my doc about stopping them he said to carry on then taper down. but i havnt found any evidence to suggest this is nessesary , all i did find was an article that suggested it was more of a placebo drug than anything else.
what i dont want at this time is to be put any more drugs than i really need to into my system , i worry enough as it is without that.
thanx
hope we all get a lovely anx free sunday
maybe we should invent a no anxiety day (like no smoking day) be cool if it worked :bighug1:
