Have Nausea, Dizziness, Spinning Sensation, Stutter. Prescribed Amitriptyline. Nerve Damage?

20 years ago, I thought that had a bad disease and stress of this made my nerves go bad. I have nausea, dizziness, a spinning sentation and a bad stutter. I was prescribed amitriptyline by my doctor and I slowly got back to normal. However, If I miss one day of amitriptyline I will get as sick as I did 20 years ago. After doing a lot of research, I believe that I have nerve damage in my vestibular system. Could you give me your opinion of what I have and what I should do?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It is not the case as you are thinking, I mean nerve damage ! not at all it is nerve damage, if your main concern is dizziness, nausea, then it might be vertigo, and may be due to your psychological condition that you have had, your nervous system would be intact, I would advise you to start "Bitahistine" three times in day your problems would subside, even if it does not go away then further investigations will be required, have nice day.
