karilann, ask about the medication 'Serc', or it's equivalent where you are, for vertigo. Non-addictive, can take with anything from what I have read about it. If you have a compounding facility in your area, they may be able to make it.

My understanding is this medication (available in Canada by prescription) isn't available world-wide, but when I had severe vertigo I was prescribed it. When I had severe vertigo again, I went back and asked for it by name.

It reduced the V by 80%. It's a drug used to treat Meniere's Disease, and was a life saver as far as the V was concerned in my case.

Rushing off to work in a sec, I'm not sure which drug info sheets/sites can be linked here, but just search for "Serc" and you'll find it.
