For a 66-year-old, a Nootropil (piracetam) dose of 800 mg three times daily is within the typical range, though kidney function should be checked. Feeling tired is a common side effect of Stugeron Plus (cinnarizine/dimenhydrinate), while restlessness can sometimes occur with piracetam. Crucially, the swelling around his face and eyes is a symptom that requires prompt medical evaluation, as it could indicate an allergic reaction. Please consult his prescribing doctor soon to safely review all his medications, including the Absolut 3G supplement.

What should my 61-year-old mother do, and what medication can she take, to treat the severe dizziness she has had for the past two days, considering she is already taking Stugeron twice a day and has a history of spinning sensations (vertigo)?

Since she is already taking Stugeron (cinnarizine) twice daily, please do not increase her dose without medical supervision. Persistent, severe vertigo for two days suggests her current treatment may need adjustment. I highly recommend having her evaluated by a doctor. They can safely determine if she needs a different medication, such as betahistine, or specialized physical exercises. For now, please have her rest in a safe, quiet room, avoid sudden head movements, and stay well-hydrated to prevent falls.

I am experiencing dizziness and swaying while walking. I have been on various medications for two years but have recently suffered again. What further treatment should I consider?

Recurrent dizziness and swaying despite long treatment may point to an unresolved inner ear or balance-related issue. A fresh evaluation by a specialist, along with vestibular tests or balance exercises, may help guide more effective treatment.

I had vertigo 45 days ago and took various medications for a month. Now I am experiencing frequent light headaches, sensitivity to light and noise, and anxiety about vertigo. What should I take for recovery?

After an episode of vertigo, mild headaches, light and sound sensitivity, and anxiety can persist during recovery. Focus on adequate rest and hydration, stress management, and follow-up with your doctor, who may adjust your medicines or suggest vestibular exercises if needed.

What should I do if I am still feeling dizzy after taking two doses of Stugeron Forte?

Stugeron Forte (cinnarizine) can take some time to fully work, but since you are still feeling unsteady after two doses, please prioritize your safety first. Sit or lie down in a comfortable, safe place to prevent falls, avoid sudden head movements, and stay well-hydrated. Please do not take any extra doses beyond what was prescribed. Because the dizziness is persisting, it is best to contact your doctor. They can evaluate if cinnarizine is the right fit for you or if another underlying issue needs to be addressed to help you find relief.
