Hi Penny
I had vertigo a couple of years ago.  I was in bed for three days unable to lift my head. I was nauseous and it took three days of meclazine before I could sit up. I am certain it was from gleevec.  My ears ring all the time with tinitus as well.  The vertigo left after 6 months or so.  During that time I could not tip my head in certain directions without feeling like I was going over!! 
I  have been on gleevec since 6-11-02. 
I hope you can get rid of it.  Again, meclazine is a wonder drug for that.  I think if I remember right, I had to call the doctor for a script because they don't sell it over the counter....
Good luck
