I have been experiencing dizziness, light-headedness, and difficulty concentrating. My doctor prescribed Stemetil twice daily for three days, which reduced my symptoms by 80%, but they returned after I stopped the medication. Should I continue taking it?

Have a query?

Stemetil (Prochlorperazine Maleate 5 mg) is a medication used to treat nausea, vomiting, dizziness (vertigo), and certain psychiatric conditions by blocking dopamine effects in the brain.
Your symptoms of dizziness, light-headedness, and difficulty concentrating improved significantly with Stemetil but returned after stopping it, which suggests the underlying cause may still be active or unresolved.
Please consult the doctor who prescribed Stemetil or a neurologist/ear specialist (ENT) to discuss your ongoing symptoms and whether continuing or adjusting treatment is appropriate.
If you want, I can explain how Stemetil works or discuss possible causes of your symptoms in more detail.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've been having dizziness, light-headedness, and trouble concentrating. I'd like to know your age and gender to better understand your situation.
