Title: Betahistine
Post by: Just on February 19, 2018, 04:37:17 PM
Hello all, has anyone tried Betahistine for severe and ongoing ear pressure and balance and had an adverse reaction to it? I found I started to feel rougher about 2 to 3 hours after taking it and the histamine reaction was causing worsening neck and back pain as well as migraines and tension headaches/numb scalp. I was lightheaded in the evenings after having the day's three doses too. I have stopped it now (2 days ago on out of hours doctor's advice after trying a half dose initially and having a further reaction with itching, chest tightness too). Felt a bit better yesterday but bad again today so I'm thinking withdrawal symptoms are happening.
Would be pleased to hear of any experiences.
