It's also possible that you have had an onset of vertigo that is not directly connected to Gleevec. You should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist who will do a few simple tests and maybe even send you for a brain MRI to make sure there's nothing seriously wrong in the brain itself. Vertigo can be brought on by a variety of things including a viral infection of the inner ear. If the vertigo is peripheral, it's usually treated with Antivert or the generic equivalent and it takes quite a while to completely go away. Perhaps it's better not to automatically think it's the Gleevec causing the dizziness but to look into it seriously with a specialist. Vivi
