title: [Vestibular symptomatology and response to treatment with heterocyclic drugs].
abstract: Around 40 percent of the patients that we consult due to vertigo of a probable vestibular origin present an associated depressive syndrome. A study with patients with depressive symptoms and vestibular pathology of diverse aetiology in inactive phase is presented. Treatment using amitriptyline improves de evolutive prognosis of vestibular manifestations while observing a lower reappearance of symptomatology.
