You have to slowly raise the bar at your tolerable levels of height.
For example, start on a bench, then a tree, then a 2 story building and then the top of a roof and slowly ease your vertigo.
Vertigo due to certain disorders can be prevented. For example, if vertigo is due to motion sickness, situations that cause it (such as a rocking boat) can be avoided, and fixing the eyes on an unmoving object can help avert an attack. Taking the drug scopolamine

can help prevent as well as treat vertigo.
Drugs that relieve vertigo and the accompanying nausea include cyclizine

, taken through a skin patch worn behind the ear, may also be used. It is effective for several days and may be preferred if nausea is present. All of these drugs are antihistamines (see Over-the-Counter Drugs: Antihistamines) and may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects, especially in older people. Scopolamine

given through a patch tends to produce the fewest side effects. These drugs may cause agitation in infants and very young children and should not be given to them except under a doctor's supervision.
Some people experience vertigo when they change the position of their head rapidly. This disorder is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It is caused when calcium particles form sludge in one of the semicircular canals. Often, the disorder can be cured by the Epley maneuver, a simple maneuver in which the person is moved to a recumbent position and the person's head is rapidly turned several times. Each head position is held for about 20 to 30 seconds. Often, the rapid movements separate the particles, and gravity causes the pieces to be redistributed through the semicircular canals.
The head is rapidly turned even further (so that the person nearly faces the floor). The person is returned to a seated position and should remain at least semiupright for the next 24 hours.
The doctor rapidly moves the person from a seated to a recumbent position with the head hanging over the table edge and turned at about a 45° angle to the same side as the affected ear. Gravity causes the particles in the semicircular canal to move.
The head is rapidly turned another 45° (so that the ear is parallel to the floor).
The head is rapidly turned to the other side at the same angle.
If the vertigo is severe and causes anxiety, sedatives may be needed. Most often, benzodiazepines, such as diazepam Some Trade Names

, are used. For older people, the benzodiazepines alprazolam

and lorazepam

are preferred, because they are shorter-acting.
If the cause is cervical vertigo, muscle relaxants such as cyclobenzaprine

FLEXERIL
, given by mouth, may be used. Wearing a soft support (cervical) collar for several hours a day can help, and physical therapy may improve the range of motion in the neck. If the cause is viral labyrinthitis, sedatives (such as benzodiazepines) and drugs that relieve vertigo, nausea, and vomiting (such as meclizine
