Hi,
Vertin is medicine that is usually given to control any kind of vertigo or dizziness. It has some side effects like dry mouth, constipation etc. As far as sleep is concerned it usually causes drowsiness. Since the inability to sleep is still present even after discontinuing the medicine, I think we should look for some other causes also.
Lack of sleep can be due to any kind of stress, anxiety or fear.Sometimes diseases related to thyroid,kidney or breathing can also cause sleep disturbances. Go for a walk, read some good books, socialise with people and eat balanced diet.If still the symptoms persist then go for some investigations like complete blood count, FBS, TSH AND ECG.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
