Should a patient experiencing severe drowsiness while taking Sibelium (flunarizine) 5 mg for recurrent migraine with aura continue the prescribed three-month course, or is it recommended to consult their physician for alternative prophylactic treatments?
While flunarizine (Sibelium) is highly effective for migraine prevention, significant fatigue is a common side effect. You do not have to struggle through a three-month course feeling this way. I recommend consulting your doctor rather than stopping the medication on your own. They can safely evaluate your symptoms and may suggest adjusting your dosage, changing when you take it, or switching to an alternative preventive treatment that suits you better.
