Re: dizzyness and ringing ears

[Guest guest]

Hi - The solumedrol is prednisone given intravenously...that's what he

got in the hospital..Now he takes just regular old prednisone.....and for the

ringing(actually with Pete it is " sirens " ) it is risperdal and he only takes

0.5mg twice a day...actually it is a realatively new anti-psychotic and in

tiny doses I guess helps the ringing. Yes alprazalom and xanax are the samr

thing. Also I should tell you that intially Pete was taking methotrexate 1

time a week and Dr.Buckner recommended we add cylosporin 100mg twice a day

and that was the same time we started the risperdal.....so we really don't

know which helped the most or is it a combo...............okay now that I've

totally confused you I'll go...please feel free to ask any questions you may

have.BTW Pete also has temporal vasculitis(at least they are 95% sure that's

what it is.Don't want to put Pete through a biopsy as the treatment for that

is prednisone and he takes that anyway..Take care Janet

, excuse my intrusion but i was reading the posts and noticed " medrol "

is that solumedrol? if so thats what they gave me for my last relapse of MS

to help bring me back to normal quickly, i believe that it works the same as

prednisone but for me i had less side effects and didnt gain nearly as much

weight as when i was on the prednisone.....although this was given to me

intravenously for 10 days and then i had to " come down " off of it by taking

prednisone orally......hope that helps.......
