hi
sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.
i think that its not only insomnia that causing dizzy spells you have to see the bigger picture. what i can get you are suffereing from anxiety disorder and you need to get an expert opinion on that.
remember insomnia is not a disease but a symptom
so try to look at the root cause. see a good psychiatrist , i think you should start on low dose sertraline along with cognitive behaviour therapy. you will see it will do wonders with you . thanks
