    hi...Lyndon suffers to. he has had this for 10 years. He was diagnosed by a neurologist as having vestibular neuritis and was put on beta blockers...propanalin and amitriptyline. he stopped the propanalin a few years back. but still takes amitriptyline. push for answers from a neurologist as my son is feeling better...not 100% but better. he has had a good 4 years then last January had a relapse...which we are sure was caused by dehydration. he had bad anxiety this time. so his gp recently put him on sertraline

    which has helped him loads. I spoke to him yesterday....he said since taking sertraline he feels so much better...happier..positive. so maybe try these? good luck. I know how awful this is! let me know how you get on please! x ps my son is 29
