When it comes to MS-related vertigo and dizziness, there are a few medication options that may help manage symptoms. Always check with your doctor before starting anything new, even over-the-counter options.
Here are some commonly used medications:
- Over-the-counter motion sickness medications — good to keep on hand for occasional dizzy spells
- Antihistamines — can help relieve dizziness and vertigo for some people
- Corticosteroids — a short course may be prescribed by your neurologist to reduce these sensations
- Stronger prescription motion sickness medications — available if over-the-counter options aren't enough Beyond medication, vestibular rehabilitation therapy with a physical therapist can also be really effective. It includes balance retraining and vision exercises that help reduce dizziness over time.
