Betahistine Success Stories | Meniere's Disease | Forums - Patient

Long term use of Betahistine | Meniere's Disease | Forums - Patient
All that said, I've been taking betahistine on and off since 2013 as needed and I've had no problems with it except drowsiness. I have been on 3x24mg betahistine since 2007. I tried to wean myself off of it and it caused my Meniere's to become bilateral. So my good ear became my bad ear 😦.

Allergies and Betahistine | Meniere's Disease | Forums - Patient
I have bilateral MD and I have non allergic rhinitis. I have been on 64mg/day betahistine AND a nasal spray antihistamine + nasal spray steroid for years. The betahistine works wonderfully well. I have eliminated both my MD symptoms and my non allergic rhinitis symptoms with this combination. Below is the protocol I follow every day.

Betahistine | Meniere's Disease | Forums - Patient

Ménière's Disease: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment - Patient
Betahistine is a medicine that is thought to increase the blood flow around the inner ear. This may reduce the amount of fluid inside the labyrinth and prevent symptoms from developing. If you take betahistine every day it is unlikely to stop all attacks but it may reduce the number and/or severity of attacks. It does not work in all cases.

I live in the US, how do I get Betahistine for my Menier's?
Insurance does not cover betahistine. Here in Pittsburgh 300 16mg capsules will cost you around $130.00 and higher. Also, do NOT take any ORAL antihistamines with betahistine. You can take an antihistamine SPRAY into the nose only. That will not neutralize the betahistine because it does not go through your blood system.

Posted 8 years ago. Betahistine usually takes couple days get into system but once they are you should notice improvement. I too take the 16mg tablets but only at onset of attack then they usually work within couple hours. My GP also gave me prochlorperazine maleate which have to be dissolved on gum.
