A member asked:

I suffer w/ menieres & bad vertigo. could manganese help with vertigo? i currently take valium & meclizine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Manganese: Manganese deficiency can cause vertigo - manganese supplementation will not necessarily be a total reliever, but it may help. In addition to valium and meclizine, expert physical therapy can really help

I have pretty bad vertigo. DRs have not been able to find the cause and physical therapies have not helped. The only thing that helps is meclizine and Ive had to take it daily for years now. Is there long term effects to this medication daily?
