It's 2023. You might have developed a new inner ear condition. Loose "crystals" causing vertigo is very common and easily treated with a simple exercise. Please talk to your doctor about this or other possibilities. Not everything is withdrawal.

I just booked an appointment for next week to get my ears checked. As I said, in the first years of WD I met lots of doctors to clear out everyhting but everyone told me I am perfectly healthy though I felt terrible.

I had vertigo in 2015 before I took meds and I used to get it when I felt stressed so If vertigo would be my sole problem I would agree that it´s not related to withdrawal but combined with all the other symptoms it´s hard for me to believe that it´s not withdrawal.

 

You healed after such a long time of WD but what made you certain that its WD and not a medical condition?

Also Is there a way to check / visualize nerve damage?

A lot of things can change from 2015 to 2023, such as your getting 7 years older.

 

No amount of peer support can fix your sudden onset of vertigo. If you do not want to look for solutions outside of withdrawal syndrome, you can simply cope with it until it goes away, or not. If it happens to be a medical condition, you might be able to resolve it fairly easily.
