Experiences with Candesartan for Migraine?
I've been on candesartan for a week and a half and the nausea and dizziness that I've been having has gotten a lot worse.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same?
Hi
,
How frustrating! Potential side effects of new medications can be difficult to deal with. Dizziness is a common side effect of this medication, but may lessen as you adjust to it.
If this continues and/or is difficult to deal with, you may want to get in touch with your doctor to see about a dose adjustment and taking it slower.
Will you keep me posted on how you are doing?

Thank you. I'm only on the starting dose. My doctor thought it was maybe labrynthitis but I'm not convinced. It just felt like a worsening of some of my migraine symptoms. This is the 5th preventative tablet I've tried over the last 5 months for daily migraines and what I think may be cluster headaches. I have a neurology appointment in a couple of weeks so I'm hoping I'll get some more answers then!
Hi,
. I'm not sure if you're aware, but we have a lot of information on the site about cluster headaches. I pulled a few articles from the archives that give a good overview if you're interested in learning more:

I found I had really bad mouth ulcers with Candersatan, have tried 3 times, going to try another BP med as need one of those anyway and if they help migraines that’s a bonus!
