Whew!!
After 7 hours in the ER and numerous tests, docs came to the conclusion that I have a severe case of vertigo. Have had it in the past, but nothing like this. Doc has me on valium, benadryl, and antivert. Still a little woozy, but it seems to have cleared a bit.
Can't fish for awhile, so keep your lines tight and best of luck.

Do you take cholesterol medicine? I was diagnosed with vertigo , had to do Physical Therapy , they prescribed the drugs you mentions. Turned out to be a bad reaction to the Cholesterol medicine. I switched back to a name brand instead of the generic and the problem went away in two days after suffering for about 2 months.

No cholesterol meds (yet  ) I have had this before, but nothing like this last bout. Literally couldn't lift my head off the pillow w/o vomiting. Felt like my head weighed about 50lbs. Not a fun thing. Feeling better today, but I'm keeping up with the meds every 8 hours or so. |

Sorry to hear of your VERTIGO, I had a case of benign vertigo the Doc sent me to phy. therapy for treatment and it worked in one session, I only got DIZZY when I put my head back and tilted. They said the little hairs and some kind of ball that float around were out of position, it was a weird treatment but it worked for me.
Good Luck ,
