Giddiness or vertiginous sensations during changing position (as you mention while getting up or process of lying down and lasting for few minutes ) suggest diagnosis of BPPV [Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo]. Dizitac can be effective for symptomatic control. But I not suggest to continue Prothiadine for this problem.
Also effective may be Apley maneuver (also called the CRP or canalith repositioning procedure).
