Need medication advice 💔please

Hey! For the past 3 years I have tried different meds for vestibular migraines such as redomex, Sibelium, depakote,… the only time I had a relief from the CONSTANT dizziness was on a combo of topiramate 50mg and depakine 300mg where the only time I had symptoms was during and right after my period. It feels like a curse because the drugs work but I hate how the topiramate makes me feel. I just can’t take the side effects of topiramate anymore and my neurologist has suggested this new plan: keep me on depakote (300mg), stop topiramate slowly and change my current setraline 100mg to 150mg of Effexor (this med is new me).

I would love love to hear about some experiences with Effexor for treating vestibular M related dizziness. I’ve been reading some stuff on here that gives me hope.

If I’m not better by mid-June we will try to add propanolol.

Hope you guys can help,

VM has totally ruined my life. I miss the old me so much
