I am getting dizzy spells about 12 a day
I have been taking Entocort EC 3mg (3 a day) for over a year and now I have started getting dizzy spells so I have cut back to 2 a day but have started again with diarrhea so I completely stopped taking Entocort and called my Dr. He said if I was to get a reaction to a med I would have between 48 and 72 hrs. but I know it is the med. because as soon as I stopped taking it I stopped with the dizzy spells but of course I still have the problem of diarhhea. He has no solution so I am going for a 2nd opinion. I took Asacol before the Entocort but that didn't work. Thanks for any info you can give me.
Hi Grace,
I'm not a doctor and I don't know anything specifically about Entocort. But, it seems a little odd that you've taken the med for a year and only just now are experiencing dizziness.
There can be a lot of causes of dizziness - are you well enough hydrated? Are you taking any other medications, either Rx or OTC, or vitamins that could be causing it. I get dizzy if I take too much of a Vit. B complex even though my doc says it's not possible.
I don't know what to tell you. In cases like this you may have to figure out which is worse, the D or the dizziness. And a 2nd opinion can't hurt anything either.
Let us know when you figure this out, it's curious.
Peace,
Elizabeth
