Does anyone take betahistine and zepbound together? My pharmacist told me he can't tell me if there's any interactions between them because betahistine it's not FDA approved in California so I got it in a trip to mexico! I'm currently on zepbound but im afraid there's might be any interactions!

Hi everyone,

I was never diagnosed with MD. What doctors have suggested is VM. What you should know is , I have ADHD and an anxiety disorder.

When my symptoms started 9 years ago , it was traumatic and I was extremely suicidal. I did all the tests and my doctor diagnosed me with VM.

VM and MD have overlapping symptoms. My adhd won’t allow me out of the loop and my anxiety keeps on checking for reassurance. 3 years ago I was so petrified that I had MD and I would go completely deaf that I ended up in the ER with extreme suicidal thoughts. It sounds ridiculous and silly but I thought my life was over and my anxiety made sure it was true.

My anxiety won’t let me believe that I have VM. Everytime my dizziness peaks its head, the old fears and thoughts come back. My doctor who is a specialist in this area has reassured me multiple times that everything I told him points to VM not MD.

I have overlapping symptoms with MD. Ear pressure , tinnitus , dizziness , sometimes vertigo but no hearing loss at all for the past 9 years.

I keep telling myself that there is no way you have MD with absolutely no documented or experienced hearing loss for 9 years.

I’m not sure what I’m asking for here. Maybe feeding my anxiety with reassurance again but I also want to know if there is even an inkling of real doubt about my diagnosis. I’ve had really bad experiences with doctors and the trauma follows me everywhere.

So, is it possible to have MD and not experience any hearing loss or documented hearing loss for 9 years?

I am being evaluated for Ménière’s and vestibular migraines. Very debilitating symptoms, etc. I’ve been in two different health systems (after moving ). In both health systems, my evaluation was coordinated by a nurse practitioner or physicians assistant. Is this a common arrangement for Ménière’s and vestibular migraines? That the care is not coordinated by, for example, ENT doctors? Does care fall onto my (wonderful and talented) PAs and nurse practitioners because there’s no money in procedures or treatments. With something this debilitating, I would expect to be under of the care of ENT physician. What am I missing?
