| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | acute labryth.... | very tired | F | 38 | 1 weeks | 7/15/2004 | 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 | 5 | MS (vertigo/confusion) | A bit tired, but tired is so much better than not being able to think or having vertigo. | Didn't work for me for the first couple of days, but now I'm a big fan. Am taking it twice daily. | F | 36 | 21 days | 1/12/2008 | 3 | vertigo | Shaking/tremors, get mad easily very angry, dizziness worsen and bad headaches. | Felt like I was floating on air. But doctor says it's the only thing that will help. I don't know I was just diagnosed with vertigo.. | F | 36 | 3 weeks 50 mg | 6/25/2015 | 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 | 4 | anxiety | cough-recurring | great for anxiety, but may have caused a cough | M | 35 | 2 years | 4/29/2006 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Vertigo | Did not improve vertigo symptoms at all. No other side effects. | M | 34 | 5 days | 8/21/2006 | 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 | 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 | dizziness | none | It did not stop the syptoms | M | 33 | 2 times | 6/28/2004 | 5 | migraine and vertigo | Sleepiness | Works well to deter nausea, I can usually get away with taking 1/4 to 1/2 of a 25mg pill to avoid the worst of the drowsiness but it'll definitely knock you out at higher doses. As an added bonus it seems to help with the confusion and anxiety that I sometimes get with migraines. | F | 32 | 3 years | 11/30/2009 | 3 | sinus infection | F | 32 | 5 days 12 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 4 | seasickness | Drowsiness, dry mouth and grogginess on waking. | Made me drag fairly badly for the first three days, but after that I seemed to develop a tolerance to the side effects. Was effective at preventing motion sickness as long as I took it a while before the motion started. Being draggy is much better than feeling gaggy, but this would not mix well with driving. | M | 31 | 30 days 25 mg 2X day | 1/23/2012 |
