I had cervical vertigo for neary 6 months and never fell. You learn to not turn your head quickly or get up too quickly and never go through a drive-thru car wash! :crazy:

In Session When you have a lot of stress and both sides are tight, you feel very unsteady. Thats what we call cervical vertigo. Have you treated other patients with cervical vertigo? Hundreds. The condition that Kathleen Savio had, would that have caused her experience any sort of unsteadiness, such as falling down? Although she felt unsteady, the chances of falling are actually less than the common person . . . youre very cautious, and you hang onto things. Can you please explain how you treated the stress that Kathleen Savio was experiencing? If you dont treat the underlying problem, getting the serotonin and the adrenaline balanced, it just keeps coming back. So I gave her lorazepam, an anti-anxiety drug . . . with that, I knew shed make an adequate amount of serotonin. And then I gave her Zoloft, which helps her store the serotonin shed already made.

In Session The sidebar ends. The judge then excuses the jurors, and leaves the bench. We are apparently in a brief recess.

He was excited to see his hand picked jury and his little pet, Jose. :twocents:
Just for my own personal info, is it worse for the elderly? I think my dad has vertigo (of course he doesn't want to see a doctor and is in total denial that anything is wrong with him). He has fallen at least 3 times in the last 6 months.

I wonder about the dosage of those drugs. If I am not mistaken both can cause some unsteadiness in higher dosages.

Well, since I will be 65, I find it no different now, then I did when I had it in my 30's. Of course now, I am much more aware and cautious when I get it again.
Hopefully your father will seek medical attention, because he will feel a heck of a lot better. Tell him I said so FWIW!![]()

Does anyone know if she was actually taking the drugs at the time of her death? Did they show on the tox report?
A lot of time time people get the perscription, take them a few times, and either feel better and quit or don't like the side affects and quit.
