Could A Course Of Prochlorperazine Cure Swaying Feeling With Lightheadedness?

Hello, I m a fit 51 year old male. I ve been swaying about like someone who is drunk for 6 days and feeling light-headed. My doctor prescribed a course of 28 tablets (Prochlorperazine) 4 days ago. When I woke up yesterday I had double-vision for about 10 minutes. I woke up this morning I had double-vision for nearly 30 minutes. How long will take for both conditions (dizziness and double-vision) to permanently clear?
