| 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 | 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 | 4 | Dizziness/Hives | MAKES YOU VERY TIRED. I have 3 kids and I can only take it at bed if my husband gets with the baby! THIS SUCKS! No longer dizzy but Hives came back even after taking this for a week. Hives came while still taking! | F | 20 | 14 days | 9/2/2005 | 3 | Vertigo- possible inner ear issue | Dry mouth, jitters, headaches, tired | It helps my vertigo, but I feel really tired and have had horrible headaches since day two of taking. I don't think popping ibuprofen is worth not feeling the vertigo I get sometimes. Usually just motion sickness related but I take it for car rides every day and I don't think I will continue | F | 30 | 14 days 25 mg 1X day | 4/30/2022 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 3 | sinus infection | F | 32 | 5 days 12 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 2 | Vertigo | Did not improve vertigo symptoms at all. No other side effects. | M | 34 | 5 days | 8/21/2006 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | for dizziness and allergies | Extreme dizziness | F | 56 | 3 days 12.5 mg | 3/2/2014 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
