User Reviews for Meclizine

Bonine (meclizine) for Vertigo: This drug was prescribed for me by a Doctor in 1983 for vertigo. It worked beautifully and I occasionally take it when needed yet today.

Bonine (meclizine) for Motion Sickness: I went on a 4 day, 3 night cruise with my identical twin. Both of us had previously taken Dramamine but neither of us liked it due to the sleepiness. She bought some Bonine while I had my doctor write me a prescription for the back-ear sticker. Both of us took our medicines 12 hours before getting on our plane. I got tired while she enjoyed poking me and making fun. The back ear patch didnt work, because I got sick with in minutes of being on the ship. My sister forced me to take the patch off and made me take the Bonine. We had a great trip. We swear by Bonine and our family and friends love it too.

meclizine for Vertigo: Definitely helped with vertigo. Made me very sleepy.

meclizine for Vertigo: I have had problems with vertigo, dizziness and just a sense of feeling unbalanced for about 15 years. Never really have found out what causes it, but many times have taken Bonine (meclizine)and one or both ears will pop and I will feel better. I have never had any side effects from this medication whatsoever and would recommend it. I am very susceptible to heart arrhythmia activity and this medication has never caused me any problems.

meclizine for Vertigo: I was prescribed Meclizine because I was so dizzy I couldn't even sit, now after taking it for 4 days it's starting to get a lot better. They don't know the cause of my dizziness, all they know is it has to do with my nervous system. While we are waiting to have a lot of tests done they put me on this. The only problem I have is it puts me to sleep and knocks me out. But it affects everybody differently.

meclizine for Vertigo: Helped with vertigo but inital dosage made me feel somewhat drugged. A half dose worked better for me as the side effects went away.

meclizine for Vertigo: I had been diagnosed with Meneire's disease and unfortunately one of the side problems associated with it is vertigo. I take meclizine every day as a preventative and have been vertigo free on all the days I've taken it. On the days I don't take it, there's generally a 75% chance that the vertigo will come back hard.

meclizine for Vertigo: Just started Mecliizine 25mg 3 days ago to treat vertigo condition. Works great, but it makes me so sleepy. I take it before bed now, and only once per day, as opposed to the recommended 6 to 8 hours. I've been dealing with nausea and dizziness almost daily for the past few years, this medication has provided instant relief, and I am now almost guaranteed to sleep through the night.

Dramamine II (meclizine) for Vertigo: Although it will relieve or ease the vertigo I hate to take it because I "lose the day" - one pill will have side effects for about 8 hours. I am unable to leave the house or drive. I never take more than one in 24 hours, and as few days as absolutely necessary. I am 83 years old.

meclizine for Vertigo: Worked well for vertigo from an inner ear infection. Did not make me drowsy at all, but it did make my eyes very dry. Worked perfect for the vertigo.

Bonine (meclizine) for Motion Sickness: It worked immediately. I was on a cruise ship and as soon as I popped it into my mouth the vertigo and nausea disappeared for 24 hours. No drowsiness.

Bonine (meclizine) for Motion Sickness: We are cruisers and have been on many since 1980. My doctor at the time told me to try Bonine, and it has gotten me through many a rough sea and I'm always able to enjoy myself. I have forgotten to take it twice and each time got motion sickness. So I always recommend it to family, friends and other new cruisers.

meclizine for Vertigo: My doctor perscribed Meclizine to help stop the dizziness associated with my inner ear infection they call Labarynthitis. It is very difficult to function, or drive myself to work with the dizziness but the Meclizine makes me so tired I feel drugged. Not sure which I'd prefer, the dizziness or the sleepiness because either way, I can't drive and that makes getting to work and function quite difficult.

Dramamine II (meclizine) for Vertigo: Works for me.

Bonine (meclizine) for Vertigo: I have recently had several episodes of vertigo, likely due to ear problems. I was recommended meclizine by a doctor and it worked very well. I had expected to have to go to bed, but I was able to go to a friend's house for dinner. I did feel sleepy the next day, however.

Bonine (meclizine) for Motion Sickness: Took Bonine for a 3 hour flight and it worked great. I get motion sickness very easily and Bonine stopped the nausea and dizziness. I did have some drowsiness, but I will take that over the dizziness and nausea any day.

meclizine for Vertigo: I have inner ear damage because of shingles and the medicine has always helped when vertigo has suddenly been a problem. A little drowsiness, but even that disappears within twenty minutes. VERY effective.

Bonine (meclizine) for Motion Sickness: Both my son and I took this on a diving trip and it worked great. No side effects. I have high blood pressure and had no effects that I could tell. We took 1 the night before and 1 an hour before the boat left the dock.

meclizine for Vertigo: They also gave me 5 mg Valium for night time so I don't feel like I am falling out of bed . The 2 together seem to really do the trick but they had only written me a 7 day supply, so on the 12th day vertigo came back. This time Doctor gave me the meclizine and no Valium. Hope it works well alone. I get so scared when I have an episode.

Bonine (meclizine) for Vertigo: This was my first time having Vertigo. It lasted 4 days and the medication helped but by the 3rd day my head was killing me. Don't know if this is normal.

meclizine for Vertigo: I have noticed breast tenderness with this medicine, which is definitely a little weird. I am not pregnant or nursing. As long as I take the medicine exactly on time (every 6 hours) my vertigo is kept at bay.

meclizine for Vertigo: The doctor gave me 25mg. I think this is too strong for me. Now I have a very bad headache

Bonine (meclizine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I had nausea, vomiting and dizziness due to withdrawls from medicines. Taking Bonine has helped me get through the day.

I've been taking meclizine for over 20 years now. I was given it orignally by my doctor to help with the dizziness and vertigo I would get from my hypoglycemia. It works well but for me it takes about 1 hour to kick in. Sometimes it takes the dizziness completely away, other times it takes the edge off so I can at least function. As far as I know meclizine is the only drug out there for dizziness. Makes me tired but I'll take being tired over dizzy any day.

meclizine for Vertigo: Just started taking meclizine for an episode of vertigo I had yesterday. Still feeling a little off balance and dizzy, but at least the room isn't spinning and I don't have the falling sensation. Went to the doctor today to run some tests, but since I started the Bonine yesterday, the tests were inconclusive, since they couldn't trigger the vertigo. Looks like this medicine works. I am sleepy though, but am still having trouble sleeping, guess it's just being anxious that it might happen again. Also, reading/typing triggers more dizziness. Doctor said to continue on the meclizine for 2 weeks and it should take care of itself. If not, to return to him, for further testing.
