There are many different maneuvers and exercises that can be done to get the ear crystals to move back into place. Two of them are the Epley Maneuver and the Semont Exercises. You can search these on YouTube and find videos on how to preform them, or go see an ENT (ear nose and throat doctor) or an audiologist.
I have BPPV, and the results are different for everybody. I stared out doing the Epley, but it didn't work for me, then I started recently doing the Semont, and so far I have been noticing slight differences, but it normally doesn't happen over night.
With the Epley, it you preform it perfectly one time, then you could be completely cured. But like I said, the results are different for everybody.
With the Semont, the ENT will usually tell you to do the exercises for from 1-3 months straight, but there are many people that are cured within a week or two.
Good Luck!

What is cupulolithiasis and how to treat it?
Cupulolithiasis is a type of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) that involves displaced crystals within the semicircular canals of the inner ear. Treatment typically involves specific head and body positioning maneuvers, such as the Epley maneuver, to help move the crystals out of the canal and alleviate symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider or a vestibular therapist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
Can meclizine make vertigo worse?
Meclizine is used to treat a very specific form of vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Meclizine may make you drowsy, which may make you lightheaded and more likely to become vertiginous if you do not have BPPV, or it may not work for you at all, and taking it may delay diagnosis of your actual condition. If you are continuing to have vertigo symptoms, despite meclizine, or you are getting worse, I would recommend you call or see your physician. You may need additional studies.

Can arthritis in the neck cause you to get dizzy in the head when you turn your head or lay down?
I have suffered from severe dizziness upon lying down and turning my head in the past. I researched it and found a syndrome called BPPV. You may want to plug this into a search engine and see if it sounds like your problem.
Why do you get dizzy when you turn your head?
If you were outside when doing this looking down at the ground would probably make you more dizzy as you are watching the floor move round, whereas looking at the sky is further away, and so there wouldn't be as much movement of things going round for you to struggle to focus on. So as well as going experiencing the momentum of spinning you are also watching something spin too, which may make people dizzy by itself. It's best to alternate between looking up and looking down, as you will get dizzy and lose balance instantly.
