hi,
It is good that you responded to sibelium. unfortunately it is a sedating drug, the reason why you are sleeping all the day. It also increases your appetite there by causing weight gain.
There is no remedy for it except to either reduce the dose or to stop it while you seek another drug.
It seems your vertigo is episodic, hence you may try reducing the dose after consulting your neurologist.
All the best.
