Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The dizziness you are having is because of the inner ear problem for which you are getting the correct treatment. The problems of the inner ear are usually slow to improve. If the dizziness is so much that it is hindering your daily activities and is posing a problem in driving then you need to increase the doses of vertin and stemetil after consulting with your doctor.
The numbness in hands and legs is more likely to be a nerve related problem. For improvement, you can add methylcobalamin supplements at least 1000 to 1500 micrograms at night. Taking a diet XXXXXXX in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C will also be helpful.
Meanwhile, do take precautions while driving. If you do not feel comfortable doing it, stay away from it for sometime.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
