| 1 | BBPV | Worst medication I've ever taken in my life so far. Made me have awful anxiety for two days straight, super dehydrated feeling, could barely walk or move my hands, and couldn't still shaking. | I will never take this stuff again and do not recommend it for vertigo. Two weeks later I was still having vertigo, so I went to the ENT, they did the Epley and Sermont Maneuver on me and was fixed in 1-2 days. | F | 18 | 1 days 25 MG 1X day | 12/14/2020 | 1 | Vertigo from ear problems | Did help a little with dizziness but side effects were 100 times worse than the dizziness,Terribly irritable, confused, foggy, severe anxiety will never take again! | F | 27 | 30 days | 4/26/2020 | 1 | Vertigo | I took this at about 3 p.m. today it was prescribed to me and it about 7 p.m. got very tired. The next day I woke up and tried to go to work and couldn't because I felt so drunk that I was afraid to drive. Had to take the day off from work and slept all day and felt generally sick and foolish. Could not shake the dizziness and tired and drunk feeling. They send the kids from the neighborhood yard my mother's will squeeze all | F | 35 | 1 days 25 mg | 3/16/2020 | 1 | Vertigo | I get vertigo attacks, which last for days. Doctors *think* it's inner ear related. The first time, vertigo spun out of control, I would have jumped off a bridge if it couldn't be controlled with something . Second time, it didn't work AT ALL. It made me extremely, irrationally angry . I yelled at my family for 3 days and there was no relief in my symptoms. My body is getting better without drug interference. | Anger, anger, anger!!!! This drug does nothing to help with vertigo, it simply interferes with your brain activity!! | M | 49 | 25mg 1X day | 8/13/2019 | 1 | Vertigo | Blurry vision . went back to er for vertigo and they gave me diazepam it works great. Urgent care gave me prednisone had no problems with that | F | 43 | 0 months 25 mg | 7/30/2019 | 1 | Dizziness | Tired, seemed like I count stay awake, headache dizziness, anxiety worst. | I hate this feeling, worst headache after taking it then before. Can't seem to keep my eyes open. Whole body just feels strange. | F | 43 | 1 days 25 mg | 12/30/2018 | 1 | extreme vertigo | Very bad reaction to this med broke out in hives and slept 11 hours straight...it relieved the dizziness but I'd rather be dizzy than itchy all over and that tired | F | 34 | 1 days 25 mg | 1/28/2016 | 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 | 1 | BPPV | Vertigo seems worse. Very tired and vertigo is worse. | F | 58 | 1 weeks .25x2 | 8/18/2015 | 1 | took it for vertigo | There were no side affects but it did not for vertigo. After taking the 25 mg, it seemed to have no effect on the dizziness. | F | 30 | 1 days | 5/14/2015 | 1 | motion sickness | This medication was a total waste of my money. It simply didn't work at all for me. Plus one of it's top side effects is dizziness. And, it did cause slight stomach upset for me. It contributed to me feeling a bit lethargic as well. This pill definitely was not the answer for helping to treat my problem with motion sickness. For me, it was nothing but a waste of my money. | I do not recommend this pill for treating or even preventing motion sickness at all. | F | 38 | 2 days 25mg 2X day | 11/7/2013 | 1 | extreme vertigo | EXTREME fatigue, couldn't even FORCE my eyes open. Fell asleep in the tub. My eyes kepg rolling and going cross. Felt like I was in a complete fog and I couldn't even think straight. | The Dr. gave me this med in the ER. I asked if it would make me feel funny (I do not like taking meds but I was so tired of the dizziness that I was willing to try it) and he said no. I drove home 2 hours after being given the Antivert and as I was driving, I was literally scared. I couldn't focus, couldn't concentrate and was afraid I was going to have to pull over. I made it home safely. After a few hours of not being able to shake the feeling, I decided to take a bath. Thankfully my cat likes to sit on the side of my tub while I bathe because I think she saved my life. I dozed off at least 4 times and every time I was awaken by my cat patting my arm. I probably would have drownd and not even cared. Dangerous drug, if you ask me! | F | 36 | 1 days 25 mg 3X day | 5/26/2012 | 1 | Vertigo | Extreme tiredness, unable to think clear, dizziness | I cannot take this drug during the day because it knocks me out so I tried taking it at night and I felt drugged the next morning and couldn't function. Not sure why doctors prescribe this since it does not treat the Vertigo and it just make me so sleepy that it's like torture, I'll I wanted to do while on this pill was sleep, not good when you work full-time. | F | 42 | 30 days 1X day | 8/5/2010 | 1 | lightheadedness vertigo | extreme tiredness and more dizzy than before...seriously i have never felt this tired in my whole life, i cant take this pill anymore, all i seem to do is sleep | didnt help at all in the lightheadedness/dizzyness..i find it hilarious that one of the side effects for an anti-dizzy pill is dizzyness. im told if i take it longer i will eventually stop felling as tired and adjust to it. but to be honest i dont want to. its a horrible disconnected fake tired feeling that i dont like at all. its like extreme jet lag. | F | 25 | 2 days | 5/7/2009 | 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 | After C-section for nausea | The medication was administered via IV after surgery because the nurse suggested a "new" medication for nausea.I think she gave me too much medication. I could not keep my eyes open and several times I would wake up from sleep feeling like I would stop breathing. I could hear people talking but I could not open my eyes. I couldn't even nurse my baby because I had no use of my arms. I told my mother several times I was afraid to truly go to sleep because I felt I would never wake up! It took 12 to 15 hours to wear off and I still felt groggy for another day. I would definitely NOT recommend to take this medication! I would have much rather been vomiting than feel like I was about to die. | F | 34 | 1 days | 8/30/2007 | 1 | vertigo | Did not help dizziness from vertigo. Very tired no energy, just still feel overall sick. | Why is this recommended for dizziness when it causes dizziness? Can someone please tell me if they know of something that does works? | F | 10 days | 9/1/2006 | 1 | dizziness | none | It did not stop the syptoms | M | 33 | 2 times | 6/28/2004 | 1 | | 7/11/2002 | 2 | Bppv | This was prescribed to me due to congestion in the inner ear causing vertigo. Made me feel drunk all day and extremely drowsy. My vertigo went away it’s very hard to function like this all day either. | F | 34 | 3 days | 12/8/2019 |
