Treatment Options for Vertigo
Treatment of Central and Psychogenic Vertigo
Central vertigo is treated differently than benign paroxysmal positional vertigo since it is secondary to other medical conditions. Treatment is focused on controlling the symptoms of vertigo while treating the underlying medical condition causing the vertigo.
Drugs to control vertigo may include:
- Benzodiazepines
- Antihistamines
- Dopamine blockers
- Antiemetics
Psychogenic vertigo due to anxiety or panic disorder may be treated with a benzodiazepine, such as diazepam or lorazepam.
