HI lovely people. I have had vertigo symptoms last few days, feeling dizzy, off balance, pressure in head and generally feeling funny in my head. I have been prescribed stemetil by my GP but yes you have guessed it I am too scared to take it for fear of side effects.. I have to go for an MRI of my neck this Sunday but wont be able to get it done if I cannot get rid of this as wont be able to lie flat. I am not keen on having an MRi anyway but need some reassurance to help me. Please can you help??
