Is It Necessary To Take Prothiaden Without Depression?
I had slight giddiness or rather lightheadedness accompanied by extreme tiredness some 5 months back which lasted for 3 or four days. . Took vertin for a month as advised by my doctor and now it has recurred.This time he said it s inflammation of some nerve and prescribed vertin 16 and Prothiaden 25.I understand that the latter is for depression. I have no stress or depression and wonder whether I should take Prothiaden unnecessarily.

Hello,
Prothiaden is an antidepressant and it should not be given for giddiness. But when you went to the doctor for the second time for the same problem, he must have thought that you might be depressed so might be exaggerating things and that is why you have been prescribed prothiaden. I suggest talk your doctor again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
