Question: Why do people get vertigo? Do vertigo and migraines mix together?...
Answer:
Dear Sandy:
This response is likely later than you might like but we get swamped with
questions daily. Vertigo is common along with Migraines. Have you been tried on
Transderm-Scop (scopolamine)? It is a patch. There are now 7 Imitrex-like
medications on the market; perhaps one of the others may be more suitable. Good
luck,
John Claude Krusz

detailed profiles of each.
