I also get botox injections every 12 weeks. The venlafaxine is helping some. But not as much as it has helped others. But, I seem to always be the exception. If you try venlafaxine, it is importation to titrate up slowly. I started by opening the 37.5 capsules and actually counting out half of the little beads. Did this for 4 weeks before the next increase. It’s definitely worth talking with your Dr. about.

Topamax (topiramate) is commonly prescribed for preventing migraines, including vestibular migraines. It works by calming the nerves in the brain. However, it does come with potential side effects such as:
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Fatigue
- Nervousness
- Vision and movement changes
- Trouble speaking
- Pins-and-needles sensation
- Decreased appetite and weight
Rare but serious side effects include cognitive dysfunction, suicidal thinking, glaucoma, kidney stones, decreased sweating, and trouble controlling body temperature.
If you're concerned about these side effects, discuss alternative treatments with your doctor. Other options for vestibular migraines include:
- Beta Blockers: Help reduce the frequency of attacks.
- Triptans: Such as Imitrex (sumatriptan) and Maxalt (rizatriptan), which block pain pathways in the brain.
- Reyvow (lasmiditan): Approved for treating migraines with or without aura.
Always consult your healthcare provider to find the best treatment plan for you.
