Well, this is what I get for playing doctor. 🤦🏻♂️😐🤦🏻♂️
I started taking 24 mg per day of IVM about a week ago to combat a flare up of whatever this cold bug / flu is that keeps popping up for me about every 3 months. That's a whole other story too....
Well, This time around, I have started having some pretty bad dizzy spells.
Since I learned nothing from my experience so far, I again donned my Doctor's coat and looked up IVM side effects online.
Sure enough, Dizziness / balance problems are a significant potential side effect per this link;
https://www.drugs.com/ivermectin.html
Is there anything at all I can do - other than immediately stop taking any further Ivermectin of course - to counteract the dizziness?
Is there anything I can take to neutralize the IVM in my system?
This morning I took some activated charcoal capsules that are pretty good at soaking up some bad stuff in your system, but I know there's only so much that can do since I've been taking IVM for a week, so it's fully in my system....
Ugh this is awful. 🤦🏻♂️😵😵😩🥺🥺
If anyone has any ideas, please help.
I am also going to go to my doctor - my real doctor - to see if there's anything they can do to help.
How long is IVM's half-life? Hopefully it will dissipate soon...???
Thanks Frens.....
UPDATE / ETA: Called advice nurse; guy I spoke with was polite & pretty thorough. At one point he stated "IVM is usually only used to treat parasites, lice, etc in humans". About 5 min later he said; "yeah and you know, IVM is not authorized / recommended for use in humans."
I said; "wait; I thought you said it was used to treat parasites in humans."
"Oh yes; I take back my statement; yes, IVM is used to treat parasites & lice in humans."
😐😐😐🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ He recommended I go to the ER, but I'm feeling OK: I will see & hang on for a bit. I'm feeling better; if my symptoms at ALL get worse, I'm going to the E.R.....
Thanks for all the help & suggestions, frens. 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
######## EDIT, UPDATE: 07/29/2022 10:35:54 AM I'm pretty much back at 100%. IVM worked its way out of my system, any & all dizziness / wooziness / lightheaded is GONE, along with any & all traces of whatever's this damn cold / flu bug that keeps attacking me every ~3 months like clockwork since this damn pandemic.... and that is a whole other doctor's visit & thread.....
Thanks everyone for your help & suggestions, and I will certainly be more careful in the future!!! 🤦🏻♂️😐🤦🏻♂️😲😵😵🥺🥺😩😩🤔🤓😨🥴
