| 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 | 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 | 2 | dizziness & vertigo | made me very sleepy; seemed to wake up in a sweat at night (and during naps) on the days I was on this; it didn't really help the dizziness much--I didn't see a noticeable effect. My vertigo/dizziness was suspected to be caused by a virus. | F | 31 | 3 days | 1/8/2010 | 3 | sinus infection | F | 32 | 5 days 12 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | for dizziness and allergies | Extreme dizziness | F | 56 | 3 days 12.5 mg | 3/2/2014 | 3 | Vertigo | 1 days | 7/24/2014 | 3 | Vertigo | Sugar high | 73 | 1 weeks 30mg | 11/29/2014 | 2 | concussion/dizziness | Dizziness kept getting worse and worse instead of better. | F | 52 | 1 days 25mg | 1/15/2015 | 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 | 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 | BPPV | Vertigo seems worse. Very tired and vertigo is worse. | F | 58 | 1 weeks .25x2 | 8/18/2015 | 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 | 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 |
