2 | Blurred vision and vertigo | Helped with vertigo but put me in la la land. Slept all day and got extremely disoriented while driving. Took two days to wear off. I would advise first time Used to try a low dose first and increase after if no negative side effects. Do not drive until you know how it effects you. | All drugs can effect some people negatively. So take your first dose at home and not before going anywhere especially driving. | M | 75 | 2 days 25 | 3/15/2017 | 3 | Vertigo | Sugar high | 73 | 1 weeks 30mg | 11/29/2014 | 5 | dizziness | none | A life saver if I get a dizzy spell. I usually cut my tablet in half and if that is not enough i will take the whole pill. Works well | 72 | 30 years 20 1X AN | 10/27/2018 | 3 | Vertigo | Poor energy level,sleepy, coughing | Helps with dizziness until I lie flat on my back. | F | 66 | 1 years 25 | 3/11/2016 | 3 | Vertigo | This medicine completely knocked me out. I think I slept for 2 days and nights. | It helped the dizziness when and if I could get up | F | 65 | 3 days | 8/14/2009 | 5 | vertigo | Very woozy And Tired Does help with my symptoms of vertigo. Instead of taking a whole pill, as of today cutting back to half two times a day. | 62 | 1 months 25 | 12/3/2015 | 4 | Vertigo | I have a few more pills to take and won't be sure if what I'm feeling is a side effect of the pills or a symptom related to the virus (?) which ostensibly caused my severe vertigo attack. However, since my vertigo cleared, my balance is precarious and I walk as though I were drunk. I see that meclizine can impair "motor skills", which would presumably include walking and I'm hoping that once I stop taking it, my balance when walking will return to normal. | My vertigo (the room spinning, nausea, etc.) seemed to clear up nicely within two days of my first dose of meclizine. I was told to continue with the 25 mg. dose until my symptoms cleared up completely, and I've not be sure if the balance issue is a symptom that has not cleared up yet or a side effect of the drug. I guess I'll find out tomorrow! | F | 62 | 6 days 25 3X day | 4/6/2013 | 3 | Vertigo | I'm usually sensitive to meds, so took only half of a 25 mg pill. I was prescribed this for vestibular paroxysmia, a nerve disorder. It reduced my vertigo a bit, enough so I could read. It helped me sleep. It makes me feel very spacey. I have also been feeling weirdly upset, and I think it's a side effect. | I have had horrible insomnia, and if nothing else, this did help me sleep. | F | 62 | 2 days 12.5 mg 1X day | 10/27/2020 | 4 | vertigo | some tiredness | It works when your head is spinning like a top! | F | 61 | 1 weeks | 8/11/2009 | 5 | Vertigo, Dble visn, Could not walk | None. | Works great. No episodes since I started taking this. Am very grateful. Also take Xanax, Klonopin, Restoril, Neurontin, Diovan, Simvastatin, and Norvasc. Antivert has been a great drug for me and helped me alot. It does not interact negatively with my other medications. | F | 59 | 6 months 25 4X day | 5/21/2016 | 2 | Vertigo | I felt more dizzeness...vertigo got worse at times..felt very sleepy:: when drug wore off..vertigo would clear then return..got constipated when taking drug....felt tense...unable to sleep whne stopped taking drug.. | I'm not sure why doctor prescribed a drug that makes you dizzy when you are dizzy to begin with..::.last vertigo attack, in 1996 another doctor prescribed presidone for ten days, also made me sleepy but appeared to stop my vertigo..this doctor told me presidone was a steriod and he wouldn't recommend for vertigo... | M | 59 | 4 days | 1/29/2006 | 2 | Vertigo | I just took my first one while I'm at work thinking it was a non-drousy thing. Right now I could take a nap on my desk and I feel nauseated. | This might be good for nighttime, but I don't think I can take this and work. I'll just have to live with the extreme dizziness and nausea while I"m work. | F | 58 | 1 days | 10/1/2009 | 1 | BPPV | Vertigo seems worse. Very tired and vertigo is worse. | F | 58 | 1 weeks .25x2 | 8/18/2015 | 2 | for dizziness and allergies | Extreme dizziness | F | 56 | 3 days 12.5 mg | 3/2/2014 | 1 | dizziness | Ultra tired constantly. | Meclizine/antivert/bonine(all the same) are about useless. I wonder what they use or do in more enlightened places such as europe or japan? | M | 55 | 4 days | 11/23/2007 | 1 | Labyrinthitis (inner ear), vertigo | Knocked me out flat - fell asleep on my desk. Made the vertigo way, way worse after 2 doses. Feel like I am floating even 18 hours after last dose and am really pissed off about nothing! | I don't take any other meds and am extremely healthy other than the virus that caused this vertigo when lying down or to my left side. Now the vertigo is CONSTANT. Doc told me to discontinue use. This stuff is AWFUL - I can't even function! | F | 53 | 1 days 25 mg 3X day | 9/10/2015 | 2 | concussion/dizziness | Dizziness kept getting worse and worse instead of better. | F | 52 | 1 days 25mg | 1/15/2015 | 3 | lightheadedness, dizziness,vertigo? | repetitive and cyclic dreams, dizziness | Only think it helped one morning. Otherwise, couldn't tell the difference between the disequilibrium and the medicine. Not sure why doctor prescribed only 3 days usage (coupled with Ciprodex) | M | 51 | 3 days 25 mg 3X day | 5/8/2012 | 4 | dizziness/vertigo | a tired, medicine head feeling with 25 mg. dose..reduced the dose to 12.5 and that helped. seems to help a lot with the dizziness. | works so far..... | M | 50 | 5 days | 5/29/2008 | 5 | Vertigo caused by inner ear problem | Extreme sleepiness | Good stuff! Works extremely well. Was prescribed 25mg - too much. Functioned much better on 1/2 pill. Also, take it in the evening preferably before bed. | M | 49 | 1 weeks 12.5 1X day | 8/21/2011 |
