Suggest Treatment For Vertigo Imbalance

I was diagnosed with vertigo imbalance about 5 years ago, and I was given serc as a prescription for my vertigo. In the middle of 2012 I was advised to see a Neurologist due to recurring headaches and she replaced serc to pms topiramate and I am currently taking mps-topiramate; and since then I was taking 3 pills everyday, yesterday I had a severe vertigo attack. I m just kind a wondering does this medication helps prevent vertigo?

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I reviewed your history.
Topiramate is prescribed for treatment of migraine headache.
You need to take drugs like cinnarizine which treat vertigo symptomatically.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
