My Doc prescribed Sanomigran - Inner Ear Disorders Message Board

Hi everyone,

After reading alot on here about MAV I decided to ask my GP about Sanomigran. He didnt agree that my symptoms could be down to MAV but decided it wouldnt hurt to try it (he is at the end of his tether with me these days)!! So I have been taking them for 2 nights. Two questions: Does anyone taking these experience more tiredness during the day?(I have felt more tired than usual the last 2 days), and if they were to have any positive effect, how long would it take to see any improvement?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi there,

I don't actually take this myself, although I know someone who does, and yes they can make you more tired than usual, and as far as I know you need to stick with them to see if you get results. Everyone's different but I wouldn't despair if you don't see immediate results. Think you need to give it a few weeks,

best,

I have suffered from migraines for nearly 20 years (although my vertigo problems only started 3 years ago) and some time ago was prescribed Sandomigran as a preventative for the migraines. I took it for 12 months and experienced tiredness as a side effect most of the time. Unfortunately, it did not help with the migraines and another side effect was that I put on a lot of weight! Hope it has a more positive effect for you as apparently it does work well for a lot of people.

Good luck

Julie

Thanks hbep and Julie,

I am feeling very tired on these tablets which is a bit of a drawback as fatigue along with the dizziness has been really bad for me the past 6 years, but I will stick with them and see if there is any improvement in the dizzies. As for putting weight on I dont mind too much about that as I have lost quite a lot of weight the past 3 months, although I dont know why as I cant exercise due to dizziness and I eat like a horse!!

Chris: From what I've read some people find it makes them very tired, others don't have a problem at all, but generally people experience tiredness the first few weeks and it slowy abbates as your body adjusts to the medication. As for long it takes to see results, some people see results in almost an instant, but I'd think it'll take a few weeks to adjust, also even if your stopping the migraine like incidents, you will still have to compensate for any damage left behind which could be a slow progress, the same as before (but without the back peddling...). Sanomigraine, doesn't work for everyone, it may still be worth tryin Ami at a later date.
