The back pain has resolved. The patient feels that the Lyrica (prescribed from another doctor) has caused the ringing, so this doc prescribed the s/l Pamelor. Very short report so no other info. Thanks.

But now the sentence is more jumbled!! What I've already transcribed is this:

Doctor spells it as "Zlopapine"  ;o)  I have looked at generic ambien, zolpidem and do not think an insomnia drug would work.  I have had this drug come up in a couple different reports as well and it's driving me crazy that I can't find it.  I have tried Z and X beginnings.  Thanks for any help!

Subject: Pt with vertigo with s/l "a lith a tory" or with orthostatic changes. sm

He states that he has lightheaded sensation and vertigo on change of position of the head, whether it is __ or with orthostatic positional changes.  (Later in dictation, doc says "His dizziness is associated with head position.  However, it is both with head turning side to side, as well as orthostasis.", so the word seems to be related to the turning head maybe??)
