Virtigo symptoms and conditions

i have been on vytorin 10/10 for 2 yrs.Last year i started having multiple symptoms.Nausea,loss of appetite,virtigo,and now anxiety issues.i have been to cardiologist,ear doctor, neurologist,eye doctor, and had many tests and they all come back normal. I have concluded it is the vytorin maybe?i stopped 3 weeks ago and haven't felt this good in months.my energy is up and im starting to feel like my old self again.my doctor wants me to go 3 months on no meds to see what happens.at that time id like to try omega 3 and red yeast ice? anybody had good results with any of these? im 51 and in great health other than cholesterol of 250.

Headaches, extreme nausea, virtigo, flashes of loss of vision.

i started taking this about 10 days ago but about 5 r 6 days ago i started feeling dizzy and nausia but no rash , actually i
started feeling weird on the 1st day like i was in a state of confusion, kinda trippy ...not a good oneany way i went to the emergency room when it got worse they said it was virtigo
thats funny i suddenly get somthing ive never had before in my life untill i started taking this crap

I HAVE BEEN ON TOPROL FOR 5 YEARS SINCE MY FATHER AND MOTHER HAVE PASSED. BOTH HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND I HAVE TWO SIBLINGS WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. BOTH SIBLINGS HAVE HAD HEART ATTACKS. ONE SIBLING HAS CHF THE OTHER REFUSES TO GO BACK TO DOCTORS TO GET EVALUATED FOR MEDS.

ANYWAY - MY SIDE EFFECTS HAVE BEEN VERY SLEEPY SOON AFTER TAKING, VIRTIGO, COLD FEET AND HANDS, SLEEP IS SOMETIMES INTERRUPTED BY DREAMS, WEIGHT GAIN HAS BEEN 15 POUNDS OVER MY ORIGINAL WEIGHT (NUMEROUS DIETS DON'T HELP). I AM HAVING DOUBLE VISION AND HAVE BEEN FOR 2 YRS - I HAVE HAD MRI'S/MRA'S ULTRASOUNDS, FLORESENE TEST - MY MUSCLES HAVE BECOME WEAK IN BOTH EYES TO THE POINT THEY THINK I MAY HAVE MYASTHENIAGRAVIS DISEASE - BLOOD TEST WILL CONFIRM WHETHER OR NOT BUT THAT RESULT IS 2 WKS AWAY. I HAD TO BE PUT ON ZOLOFT TWICE AND COULDN'T TAKE IT DUE TO ANXIETY ATTACKS WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO LOWERED MY PULSE BELOW 44. PULSE IS NOW AT 56 WITHOUT ZOLOFT. WHILE ON ZOLOFT I HAD REALLY CRAZY DREAMS EVERY NIGHT. I STILL HAVE PANIC OR ANXIETY ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO RECOUP. I HAVE LIMITED MEMORY SOMETIMES. SEEMS LIKE SHORT TERM IS RARELY THERE.

Well, just wanting everyone to know that I stop taking this medication cold turkey 3 day's ago because of the evil side effect's. For those who just started on this med just wait until u miss a day are two or been on it long enough u will experience something's u will not like trust us u will be trying to get off this evil drug!!! I've been on it for 2 year's and at first I didn't experience anything I thought it was great it worked for the hot flashes immediately but after my body got use to taking it the hot flashes came back along with virtigo more and more just wait and see!!! it wont be long, but anyway I quiet 3 day's ago and I feel great!!! the side of effect of dizzyness and me not being able to walk straight are there but the energy & me feeling myself again feels GREAT!!! Im not tired anymore for the first time Im up early like I use to get up, and last night I wasn't sleepy early I stayed up with my husband he couldn't believe it! I actually feel good about myself. If u ask me this medication need's to be revisited because it doesn't help after awhile I wouldn't want to take something that if I were in a situation were I didn't have this med I would be close to death without it, Im off cold turkey and going to hang in there until the side effect's go away and it's out of my system for good! I pray for u all whose on this med because it's insane and not good. Oh I forgot to mention that it get's worse for the first time I over slept and was so,so,so tired friday night I couldn't go to work this drug after awhile draines u and makes u so sleepy and wore out it make u feel like you've been drinking all night and have a hangover trust me this is real.
