medication again or no?

I am constantly battling with the idea of going back on my medicine. At work I suffer with episodes of vertigo. I have to pretend I am fine because I am a teacher. It is very frustrating to know it is anxiety but still have symptoms!!! I even feel sick to my stomach and weak. I have battled with this most of my life and am wondering if I just need to stay on medicine. Can anyone offer some advice. Also I am scared to start medicine again because of more symptoms! What to do?

Often vertigo can also be a side effect of meds. So you aren't on any right now? I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Do you have the program? If so, are you doing it? Are you using the relaxation CD? Come here for support. I think the forums are a great help. Other people going thru or having gone thru can relate and that helps us. If you are wondering about medicine maybe you do need it. Don't worry how long you've been on it or may need to be on it. You will know what to do. I'd like to hear back how you're doing.

By all means if you need medicine take it! Don't suffer needlessly. Are the side effects worse than the vertigo or weakness and nausea? If so maybe try something else, but don't deny yourself the help you could get if it's out there. Whether or not you take meds isn't anybody elses business really. If someone else has a problem with it then it's Their problem ya know? I have a buddy with Vertigo and his is an inner ear disorder and may have to have tubes but he isn't sure what to do either? I think he is taking meds for now till he dicides. Take care and be your own best friend and advocate and like Barb said come by and post often and we will be here for ya!
