    I was prescribed this due to fluid in my ear and an inflammed inner ear. No pain, but needed to reduce the fluid. I was scared of all the side effects, but I am on day 2 and have had none so far.

    I have pulled a lower back muscle about 1-2 per year. This is the only way I can get rid of the pain and swelling while it heals. I take 4mg starting with 6 per day and then decreasing 1 less pill each day. This treatment takes 6 days to complete but by then my pain and swelling is under control

    Comment:
    Worked well for VESTIBULAR DISORDER, however on day 3, the dizziness, vertigo, nausea, sadness and extreme agitation set in. On day 4, extreme anger surfaced with intense headache. My family noticed a discernible change in me. I did not take days 5 and 6. Too scared. Will only take again if desperate.
