I had some relief by taking meclizine but what really helped me was getting accupuncture. It took a few months (and I was suffering for a few months before I started!) but it was the only thing that made me "normal" again! I'm still dizzy on & off but it's nothing like before.
I'm not sure if my experience helps you, but I wish you well and I wanted you to know you're not alone... Good Luck!

The accupuncture was the needles, often in different spots on my body. She would take my pulse, as they do it in Eastern medicine for Xi, not like the Western way, and then she would determine where it was blocked and where to focus that session. She sometimes did the tops of my feet which I hated b/c it hurt! She sometimes added moxibustion, which is a tiny pile of powder that she'd burn briefly on my body (it never burned me). It smelled funny (like incense) but felt good.
The only medicine I remember was meclizine. I think it was my GP who prescribed that, but I was also put on Allegra-D, which was also a prescription back then. The D means it's also a decongestant and that greatly helps me now (I don't take the meclizine but maybe once a year). It keeps the fluid from building up too much and gets rid of it when I start to get more symptoms.
I'm never fully clear. Some of my dizziness is from low B12, some is from hormones around my period, etc. The Decongestants even make me dizzy! But, it's all different and I can usually manage okay. I'm 20 years older than I was when it hit me so hard, though. In my early 30s it was creeping back, but never took over my life again. So, I won't say that anything healed me, it just took away the worst of it so my life could go on...
I can see why the antidepressants! I probably should have had those, too, who can say? There IS life after this, really! The worst will go away but it will be a long ride over months of your life right now and that's not good. During my trials, a friend across the country developed BPPV and it vanished on its own within a few weeks. I was happy he didn't suffer long, but it made me feel worse in a way. We're all different so you have to hang in there and know that your body will work on its own time!
Does that help you?
