Do your own research . If anything ,the reported side effects are huge underestimates of the true risks because less than one percent of side effects get reported to the FDA according to Kessler MD ( former head of theFDA) and others . Even if you report a side effect to your doctor that they know or should know is caused by your prescription , they will probably tell you that it is just a coincidence and not caused by the drug and they are very unlikely to report the adverse reaction to the FDA.Ask your doctor if long term use of antibiotics (pretty much all of them ) causes vertigo in most patients . If he says no, tell him to put that in writing , and after he tosses you out of the office , get another doctor.
