Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

This is very start of tour treatment , no was you have been diagnosed with vertigo it may show up in episodes off and on.
This is same like people with high blood pressure or Diabetes may get some episodes of high sugar or blood pressure despite treatment.

Same way if you have faces a bout of vertigo you shouldn't panic keep taking your medications it will go away... getting a few episodes of vertigo off and on will keep on going... but the time interval between them and intensity should decrease with time.

I would suggest you to continue your medication and keep a close look on intensity and time interval... if things get worse do visit your doctor again, body can develop resistance to drugs too but it's too early to develop resistance, for now you just have to continue medication and see the intensity and time interval trends closely without getting over anxious.

I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.
