I'm so glad you are back to work, but so sorry to hear that you are having some struggles.
I just went through a new eval of my meds. UCSF doctor suggests the vestibular issues is mainly a migraine issue, so we switched trazodone for nortriptyline. I still take propanolol and tramadol.
The thought was a lot of the lingering side effects of vestibular and perhaps vision are migraine induced. So I am on a migraine free diet and trying nori, .
Perhaps a new eval of sleep and/ or migraine meds might be in store given the new stress levels you now have?
