| 5 | Water sounds in ear and unbalanced | No side effects | Have had a feeling of water in my ear and unbalanced sensation like being on a small boat in rough seas. After 10 plus years of no other doctor finding a cure, within 1 week of taking this medication, my symptoms were gone. I have been extensively tested by 3 ENT Dr's since 2002 and no one could ID my problem. This worked! | F | 66 | 60 days 25 mg 2X day | 2/23/2014 | 5 | Motion sickness | I have tried over the counter products before for motion sickness. I was also prescribed for a long time promethazine syrup to take, which I did for many years. But, after having taken the promethazine syrup for so long, it eventually stopped being truly effective for me anymore. I had come to a plateau and needed to be prescribed something else. So, my doctor wrote me out a prescription for meclizine 25 mg chewable tablets for me to start taking. And, now, I just started taking that. If you are someone that suffers from motion sickness and the medications over the counter just don't work well enough for you, I highly recommend going to the doctor and having him prescribe something for you that really will work much better for you. | I highly recommend the prescription meclizine tablets versus the over the counter stuff! It works a whole lot better. | F | 38 | 2 days 25mg 2X day | 11/13/2013 | 5 | Motion Sickness on a boat | Not sure why, but coincidental that after I came home from my boat trip, I have been experiencing a sensitive tongue!!! Very weird, but my tongue is red, sore, tingily, and taste buds a little affected. Its been 3 days now and still symptoms. I think because I took chewed the swallable tablets, I had no water, so I just chewed them. My kids took it too, but they seem to be ok. I also gave a little to my grandson & seems like he acted excited at first, but then he was knocked out for 14 hours after. Scary...The medicine did work well!!! Wish I had it on the way to the island, we were vomiting. We took it as Dramamine Less Drowsy, but we did get drowsy alot later in the days, after taking 2 pills. | F | 44 | 1 days 2 pills 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 4 | Motion sickness/Migraine/Vertigo | Sleepiness, dizziness, and sometimes even nausea, but it almost always worked at relieving my nausea. | I've always gotten motion sick easily, but about a year ago I began feeling off-balance all the time and started having migraines. I was having bad nausea almost daily. Meclizine saved my life. At 25mg/day to day and a half, I'm usually good. It does make me dizzy, especially if I take it before bed. It works better for me in the morning, but you do have to adjust to the tiredness. It would make me dizzy, but I didn't care about it because the nausea was gone. Occasionally, it seemed to make me sick, but I still use it when needed It also saved my life on a cruise when I got extremely motion sick. I could not hold down even a little water, and thought I was going to die. The ship gave me 50 mg and I was cured in 45 min. | M | 42 | 8 months | 1/8/2010 | 5 | Motion Sickness | The only side effect I had was being drowsy. This side effect went away after 2-3 weeks. I have not had any other side effects since I started this Medication. | I now take 1 25MG tablet twice daily and seems to help just fine! | M | 27 | 3 years | 6/26/2006 | 5 | vertigo, dizziness, spinning | I didn't have any side effects that I can recall. | I took it after I suffered a skull fracture, petrious ridge fracture & torn dura. I couldn't lie on my back or look up without a spinning feeling. The meclizine took it away as long as it took to heal. I'm now off it and healed. | F | 27 | 3 months | 9/26/2005 | 5 | vertigo, dizziness, spinning | I didn't have any side effects that I can recall. | I took it after I suffered a skull fracture, petrious ridge fracture & torn dura.
