Brief Answer:
Your symptoms could be due to two conditions which you are facing
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Extremely sorry to hear about your Meniere's disease, this disease itself can be very debilitating. The dizziness and lethargy could be due to Meniere's, as you have stopped using diuretic. Please take betaserc and this part of the problem will be solved.
Now coming to the liver issue definitely long term diuretic use could have damaged it but since CT scan is ok we can wait. Please increase carbohydrate diet and decrease fat intake. Can try silybon to get your liver back to normalcy give it some time definitely it will heal. Take cleaner drinking water. Avoid making sudden movements or getting up quickly.
Hope this helps Best wishes
