it's called 'derealisation' where everything around you appears strange.

How old are you? Sounds as if you're not getting enough sleep. Depending on how severe your back pain is maybe consider seeing an orthopedic doctor for it.

If I am having problems with mine I get that feeling. PT told me avoid grocery store, Walmart especially, and lowes. So much to look at the eye movement really makes me worse. I forced myself to stay at work one day as long as I could stand it. Finally had to leave early. I don't even remember that night. Was so hard to fight the dizziness took all my concentration just to function . The feeling will also cause a bit of anxiety. Kinda like a panic attack thinking about if your gonna make it to the end of your shift and get home

Hi I've put a few things on over last couple days about my vertigo etc and that I take betahistine dihydrochloride 16mg. My ENT doc also prescribed 10mg amitriptyline for my symptoms I just wondered do they actually work? I've had them a year almost and haven't taken any caus like an idiot I read the info leaflets which I don't think help!!

Only thing I was ever given for it was 2 mg diazepam that even helped. Meclizine did nothing. But the episode I had a few weeks ago , it's not helping. Went to a new ENT monday. More tests Wednesday. Waiting on results to see if I was misdiagnosed before. Had several episodes of vertigo in the past 3 weeks. Won't leave me alone. Diazepam not stopping them this time.

Well I seem to have a good 6-8 months before I have another episode which then normally last 1-2weeks I'm through the first week now but no where near starting to feel normal. I think I should go back to my doc and ask to be referred to a different ENT specialist like u to seeing there was a mis diagnosis.

My mum is on amitripyline for her migraines. I was on betahistine but heard it's a vestibular suppresant so not good to take as ur brain can't compensate

Meclizine works to stop the nausea and in higher doses to stop the vertigo. Luckily, the pills worked to stop the vertigo and the nausea a few weeks ago. It came back a week ago but it was a mild bout, that I didn't feel I needed to take the pills.

I have stopped taking the betahistine as I read they can actually cause dizziness. It's helped a little. How is your mum either the amitriptyline and what mg does she take?

A lot of meds have the side effect of dizziness it's crazy! She's only just started and I'm not sure what mg but I can ask. Do u have vestibular migraines?

I was taking 5 meclizine at once. Did nothing but help me sleep. Lol. Ondansetron stops nausea. Diazepam was working for the vertigo. But this bout it's not helping.

Not sure where you read this, but Betahistine eases the symptoms of vertigo. Looking at the patient info on it there's no mention of it causing dizziness. Maybe you read it wrong.

Possibly lol I've just re-read it !! I'll put it down to being dizzy 😂 Sorry but if I can't laugh about it I'll just cry!!!

The Valium diazepam has a calming effect over the brain and nerves however, the body becomes immune to it rather fast such that you need higher doses to feel the effects of it working again. Though it's not classified as a narcotic which it should be, it is classified as a controlled substance because it can be addicting.

It does cause drowsiness puts you to sleep. It doesn't help much for vertigo. Stopped taking them. Does the Valium really help?

I'm not understanding your question. Have you taken valium before? Valium is Diazepam.
