I feel Lightheaded 75% of the time. I am not dizzy, but the feeling is still very uncomfortable. It is sometimes accompanied by mental confusion
and slowness. I had a normal MRI and the brain wave test indicated a
"slight irritation" which the doctor said could possibly be mild
seizures. He suggested I try Tegretol, a medicine that I did not take because of the listed possible side effects. I am currently taking Klonopin to aid in sleeping and Zoloft for depression. I also take synthroid for radioacitive iodine induced Hypothryroidism.
What are my options? Notheing seems to help.
