I've been dealing with bone TB since March 2018, and recently, I had to stop taking streptomycin after 30 days because it was making me dizzy and messing with my balance, which was really throwing me off. It's been about five days since I stopped, but I'm still feeling off. Any idea how long it'll take for these side effects to go away? Also, should I be taking anything else to help with this? I'm currently on ethambutol and isoniazid.
