An old GP of mine diagnosed me with vestibular migraines around 2 years ago and I was put on pizotifen. I have gained so much weight and it's killing me mentally. I have tried beta-blockers (metoprolol, propranolol) but just ended up on a drip in the emergency department because they lowered my blood pressure way too much. I'm currently on a waiting list for a neurologist, hopefully to get on something like a CGRP but the waiting is so exhausting. I weighed in at 73kg this morning, overweight for my height. I was thin my entire childhood and early adulthood so it's just taken such a toll on my mental health. I'm miserable. I'm so angry that this is my life now. Frustrated that nothing I seem to do makes the weight go away. Some days I feel like I'd be willing to be dizzy everyday just to rid of this awful feeling. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated, I just needed to clear my head.
