[QUOTE="DDD, post: 136920, member: 35"] I had a sudden onset of Vertigo when I was in my thirties. Everything was fine and then WHAM I woke up in the morning and the entire world was spinning and I was home alone. I'll never forget crawling to the bathroom door with the floor "swaying". I was scared to death. Coincidentally, I ran into a childhood friend a week later and she had experienced the same thing. She was diagnosed with Menaire's (sp?) disease by an ear specialist. There were three of us who mysteriously had these symptoms...and we had not seen each other in a long time. Stress was the common factor and insufficient sleep, too, since we had three to six kids each and worked. My MD gave me Valium and also suggested that I keep the OTC pills for motion sickness in my purse. It has been twenty years since I was bothered...until about six months ago when the stress seemed to overwhelm me again. I started on Lexapro and only had two short vertigo bouts. You've got my sympathy. Try to see what steps you can take to control the problem. In my case, the vertigo was much worse when I felt like a victim to the sudden symtoms. DDD [/QUOTE]
