| 4 | | 1/14/2003 | 1 | | 7/11/2002 | 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 | dizziness | none | It did not stop the syptoms | M | 33 | 2 times | 6/28/2004 | 5 | Vertigo | soooooooo tired. Slept for a day AFTER I stopped taking the medicine BUT the room never spun again | Life is full of trade offs, I will take sleep over stumbling around like a drunk and having the room spin | M | 38 | 1 days | 3/3/2007 | 3 | Vertigo | Tiredness | I was just diagnosed with vertigo and I took Antivert for the first time this week. The vertigo seemed to go away, but at the cost of being very tired for about 24 hours. | F | 25 | 1 days | 11/6/2007 | 3 | Vertigo | 1 days | 7/24/2014 | 2 | concussion/dizziness | Dizziness kept getting worse and worse instead of better. | F | 52 | 1 days 25mg | 1/15/2015 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
