-- Re: dizziness question

---Hi Doris,

My Mam is going through the same at the moment,complaining of

dizziness and also sickness.The doctors have told us Mam as Atrial

Fibulation.Postual Hypotension as been making Mam faint .We have been

told that they are aware that Galantamine [Reminyl]can cause this , so

they have reduced the dosage .So far it seems to have worked as Mam as

not complained of dizziness since .Mam as been on Galatamine for

approx 4 years though.hope this is of some help.

Best Wishes
