Medications
Vestibular migraine can be a possible side effect of certain drugs and medications. This is especially true for those that can dilate blood vessels or change hormone levels. Some common medication triggers include triptans, oral contraceptives, opioids, hormone replacement therapy, ergotamine, combination painkillers, antidepressants, as well as analgesics. In addition, you may also be at a higher risk of vestibular migraine when you take these medications too often. If you experience any symptoms, it is important to discuss with your healthcare provider to seek safer alternatives. The association between vestibular migraine and medication use is still relatively limited, so more research is still needed. [3]
