I have been diagnosed with labythrititis since feb and am see a ent specialist. I take betahistine 32mg x3 a day. I recently became ill with a urinary infection and needed to take antibiotics . I don't know if it's a coincidence but by day two I started to feel less dizzy and unbalanced it could be the betahistone kicking in as I had been off that for a week but I am much better than when I just took betahistine. Has anyone else ever heard of this or experienced this??

    If the labryinthitis was bacterial in nature, then it got cured by the antibiotic.
