I posted a couple of weeks ago, that I was experiencing dizzy spells (and nausea when they occurred), Yesterday I finally got it together to visit the GP., who seemed to think that I might have labyrinthitis and prescribed prochlorperazine 5mg tabs to be taken as required. I took one about 2hrs ago and now I'm getting a flashing sensation across my vision when I try to read anything. It says in the info that blurd vision might be a side effect but this is like parts of my vision is obliterated by flashing (its taken me ages just to write this) and theres a kind of 'whirling' sensation in the corner of my left eye. Its very disorientating.
Anyone else experienced this? Don't think i'll be taking anymore of these.

The vision symptoms you describe sound like an ocular migraine.

I get these sometimes, and there is no headache.
I also agree it sounds like a painless migraine.

Thanks Hopkirk & Pixie. Wasn't aware that there was such thing as a painless migraine?
If you google migraine aura then look at images you will see the types of visual disturbances associated with them

WOW, just done that Toorak, some of those images are EXACTLY what I was trying to describe. Bizzare.
I occasionally get migraine auras without headaches - when you described what you were experiencing it sounded very similar to my auras
I have very occasionally too. Just visual disturbance, like flashing lights and I can't focus directly ahead. No headache. Some people get nausea too.
Higher BP can be a cause.
