I had vertigo and some associated motion sickness. Med knocked it out within two hours after suffering with the vertigo for 2 weeks. I do have some sleepy moments (I take a short 30 b minute nap during my lunch hour.) But feel quite good after with no drowsiness after and ready for another four to six hours. I am sleeping a lot but I'm also no longer feeling like I am on the verge of fainting ...

I am a little confused about using Meclizine as I don't get dizzy while standing or moving around, just when I'm sitting or lying down. It says for motion sickness, nausea, etc. which I don't have a problem with. Meclizine seems to work fairly well, but I'm still confused.

I am pregnant and my doctor told me to take this medicine to prevent morning sickness. It stinks, it didn't do anything but leave me stuck in the bathroom.

i was prescribed this to help with dizziness associated with a middle ear infection. it really takes away the dizziness or spinning sensations, but it replaces it with drowsiness. i would not reccomend taking this drug if you have to drive or concentrate at work. but if you can afford to be home, it will help.

was diagnosed with vertigo and was put on 25 mg. of meclizine for a week then dropped to 12.5 mg. it worked great all but the side effect of a urine problem as a side effect.Doc. said to stop the med. he would like to have me be a little dizzy than to have urinary problems. will see how long it takes to get rid of the med. from the body.

I use it for bouts of vestibular neuronitis, which is usually mild but once in a while severe. Symptoms (acute dizziness mostly, rarely nausea and profuse sweating) usually subside in an hour or so.

I have Minears and when an attack comes on it certainly helps to ease the dizziness.

I was prescribed this medication for vertigo. It seemed to work for that but made me extremely tired. I took it for about a week. Now I have had a migraine for three days that will not go away. My vertigo is gone though.

I am being treated for fluid in my right ear. I actually have a reoccuring sinus problem of which I informed my Dr.? about. This drug has done nothing for my dizziness and has caused some irritability. I think my Dr. is a quack.

I used this medicine for vertigo. It is somewhat effective but I had to use it several times before it starts working. However the side effect (drousiness) was severe do I discountinues the medicine.

I was diagnosed with an inner ear infection as was placed on Meclizine. 1-2 tablets 4 times a day and needless to say that is all I wanted to do was to sleep all day. I feel like I and hung over, it is very difficult to concentrate on easy tasks and I am extremely irritable and emotional. I was informed by my doctor that this was the only medication available however this medicine is not makig feel any better.

Meclizine was given to me to control a spinning sensation that I was having after discontinuing another drug. I had extreme sleepiness, in the morning my eye lids were swollen and the same with my lower lip sticking out and swollen. I feel like I have a hang over. I had a hard time sleeping, lots of tossing and turning and my legs seem to be aching. My eyes are also watering.I seem to be very irritable, I yelled at my dog several times this morning, not like me. I don't know which is worst the spinning and ringing in my ears or the sleepy feeling and the aching legs. Read More Read Less
