    I had the same symptoms and it started with a terrible bout of vertigo. I am on 10 mg amitriptyline and 400mg of magnesium and 200 mg of B2. I don't know if it was the amtriptyline that helped or just the passage of time but I am doing much better.Watch this video on Youtube and see if this sounds like your symptoms.

    Hi, Ashley. 

    I've had bouts of dizziness & migraine too. Stress is a number one trigger. Then take a look at your sodium (salt) intake.as far as the dizziness goes. Cut back. Salt is in everything. Check the labels. Add more potassium to your diet: bananas, sweet potatoes, coconut water. Excedrin Migraine works for me but you have to take it at the first sign of a migraine. Do not wait it out! Also, be sure to drink plenty of water during the day. Sleep is crucial! Melatonin or valerian to help you sleep at night. Feel better soon and hope these tips help.
