BETAHISTINE and FLUNARIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE

fyfpoon@gmail.com - 16 Aug 2006 01:32 GMT
lately I have read about the symptoms suffered by T patients in the
form of roaring sound at the middle of the night.  I went through that
before.  The roaring sound, which started and increased in volume while
i was asleep, woke me up at mig-night and prevented me from sleeping
any further.  It was a tormenting experience!

Against this background, my doctor recommended me to start with
FLUNARIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE first and later add on BETAHISTINE.  In the
latter stage of the development, I took one tablet of FLUNARIZINE
HYDROCHLORIDE in the morning and one BETAHISTINE before bedtime.  Both
went to soften my T sound while BETAHISTINE made me very drowsy in
addition.  I experienced NO side-effects from either of these two and
none of them is addictive.

Having good sleep is extremely important to T patients during the
on-set.  Good sleep helps the body recover from whatever that causes
the T in the first place.

You experienced no side effects, but the long term effects of
Flunarizine are not known, but it is known to cause motor disturbances
and/or depression.

You don't use flunarizine over the longer term. 6 months max.  I think
6 months is long enough to allow for the initial habituation process.
I was on betahistine for a year.

But you are advising people to use a drug that is known to cause
Parkinson's like motor problems *and* depression. That's a pretty
dangerous drug.

How do you know? Every drug is known to cause something.  I experienced
none of that.  It is the individual thing but for addictive drugs the
sample is large enough to be highly careful of its use.

You know by looking in the Physician's Desk Reference, or by looking at
the website of the manufacturer, or by reading consumer reports, or
other ways. The sample is large enough that depression and motor
problems are warned about specifically.

One should not drive under the influence of betahistine.  If the doc
had not advised his patients about this drug, he would be a damned fool.

What does that make you? You advised the use of a drug that is known to
cause depression and Parkinson's-like problems, but you didn't include
any warning whatsoever. And your excuse was "I experienced none of that."

Do the patients need to talk to their doctors first before taking any
advice from online into action?  Your assumption about the drug causing
this and that is wrong for all patients concerned.  Every drug produces
side effects in some but not the majority of patients.

"Your assumption about the drug causing this and that is wrong for all
patients concerned."

I made no such assumption. I said nothing like that. Also, that
statement is false. The drug *is* known to cause depression and motor
problems, but your statement actually says the drug causes no problems
for any patients. You have accused me and others here of not
understanding English. I have said this before: One of us doesn't
understand English.

Regardless of your level of Danish, the fact has remained that not all
patients get the side effects and the market demand for a certain med
indicates only the minority of the patients do.
Coffee is also known to have caused financial bankrupcy to the those
who are very poor and very addicted to coffee but does that mean people
should quite drinking coffee?

You are simply raising red herrings now. Danish has nothing to do with
anything here. You inject it to try to confuse people. And now you are
implying someone claimed all users are afflicted with negative side
effects. No one made such a claim. Again you inject this to confuse
people. And market demand is irrelevant. The drug has undergone rigorous
testing, and the expected rates for these serious side effect problems
are known. Your posting about the drug, exhorting people to use it,
simply fails to warn people of the real dangers involved. You do this
quite often, and then you excuse yourself by saying you never had any
side effects yourself. And yet you complained here bitterly that western
doctors prescribed you addictive drugs, and you became addicted, despite
the fact that many people use those drugs successfully without becoming
addicted. When a drug works for you, you advocate its use without
providing any warning, but when a drug doesn't work for you, you
complain bitterly about western doctors not telling you things.

Now you are telling me that you know more about the drug than the doc
who prescribed it to me.  Are you a doc?

I said no such thing. Stop changing the subject.

You are obviously generalizing.  The med was prescribed to me by my doc
and I have used it and experienced no side effect that you claimed.
Thus the side-effects you claimed to come from the med does not apply
to everybody.  Only fools like you would take a piece of advice online
and use it without first of all having a consultation with a certified
physician.  What are you trying to argue?

But you used another drug, also prescribed for you by your doc, and you
became addicted. And you complained bitterly about that and complained
about western doctors being idiots, and you "generalized" and said that
drug shouldn't be used.

So it seems you talk out both sides of your mouth.

Nobody said anything of the kind except you. You complained about
"western doctors." You complained about addictive drugs. You blame your
own bad luck on others, and you don't include appropriate warnings for
the drugs you have good luck with, despite the fact they are just as
dangerous, maybe even more so, in different ways.

I have explained my argument every time. I have just explained it again.

It was Ativan, and Ativan is well known for its addictive properties as
opposed to the other two drugs.  There is a difference between drinking
coffee and drinking poison too.

Flunarizine isn't addictive. That's why it isn't well known for its
addictive properties. But, despite Ativan being well known for its
addictive properties, you didn't know about them, and you complained
bitterly when you became addicted. But most people who use Ativan don't
become addicted.

Most people who use Flunarizine don't become depressed or get
Parkinson's-like motor problems, but Flunarizine is well known for its
depression and Parkinson's symptoms properties. Apparently you didn't
know that either.

On balance, I suppose those who have suffered both addiction and
depression would much rather risk addiction than depression. I can
imagine nothing worse than depression.

Document this first before going any further with your Danish.

I'll ask you to document the opposite. Your claim is that most people
who use Ativan correctly become addicted to it. Document that.
