Default What works? - dizziness

Hi Jingles,
It is sometimes hard to know if something is having an effect because it might take a long time and the you aren't sure if it was what you were taking or adjusting in some other way.

Regarding the dizziness: This never was my worst symptom. It was quite mild in my case, but I did take branch chained amino acids (BCAA), a nutritional supplement for a few months and I found that my dizziness did improve. Of course this could have happened anyway, or it might be that my body is compensating in some other way, but I think that it is worth a try. (Even though it does taste awful.)

The other thing that I found was that 10mg amitriptyline nightly does help me (but it seems not you) with headaches and neuropathic pain.

As for myself currently the worst symptom I've been having is the vertigo/dizziness. I just completely feel off-balance and to me it's the worst symptom because it makes everything else seem 100x worse. I've heard that meclizine has worked with people with vertigo/dizziness, but i tried that and there was no change. Both my neuro and my dr refuse to even consider valium even for a short period.
