"I have suffered 4 bouts of benign positional vertigo in the last ten years. It comes on without warning. I always carry Meclizine with me. I get it over the counter. It helps, but it still takes me anywhere from a week to a month to get over the vertigo. At the beginning of the vertigo, I take a 25 mg tablet every 24 hours, but it makes me very sleepy and tired and 'hung over'... but I'm able to get out of bed and do things. As the vertigo subsides, I take 1/2 of a tablet once a day, and that seems to have fewer side effects. The only thing I've found that really cures the vertigo over a couple of weeks are the exercises I do 3x a day. I got them from a physical therapist. Along with the Meclizine, I seem to eventually get better."

"I have had vertigo for 4 years now and Bonine is the only thing that helps me. I have these on hand wherever I go and could not function right without them. The heaviness in my head and the dizziness, I feel it coming on and take two tablets, and I'm fine about 20 minutes later. I highly recommend Bonine for vertigo symptoms."

"Suddenly got vertigo after my ear got fluid in it from a sinus infection that wasn’t fully cleared from other antibiotics. I ended up feeling so bad for 3 days and bedridden until I got this yesterday and actually been able to function. I've been able to take a shower, make food, and wake up without the room spinning! I have to take it 3 times a day as directed by my doctor. The only downfall is it makes you super drowsy! The drowsiness caused me to sleep throughout the night since I have had vertigo, which was good since I haven’t slept in days. Get this if you're suffering from vertigo, it saved me."

"I took one chewable tablet and have been drowsy and out of it for two days now. I've had severe nausea that comes in waves, dry mouth, a headache, and blurred vision this whole time. My heart rate is also very high. Overall, I feel like I'm in a daze, can't think straight, and just not very well overall. I will never take this medication again, and I hope it wears off soon."

"I took 2 Bonine tablets (1-2 tabs recommended on the label) and felt okay - was able to drive and go to places. Took another one before bed, and I overslept only to wake up with a heavy headedness, like I was on antidepressants. Did not like the feeling and did not want to go driving under these conditions."

"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."

"I've never taken Bonine, but I know it's the generic of Dramamine, which is the generic for meclizine that I do take. I had my first attack of vertigo when I was 27. Now I'm thirty, and it has come again all of a sudden. The first time I took meclizine, it worked like a charm, but now that I'm starting on it again, I haven't felt anything but drowsy. I hope it works like it did 3 years ago, but this time I'm going to stay on it much longer than I did the last time."

"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."

"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."

"Had a rare vertigo attack (very dizzy); took Bonine (1) tablet, and within 30-60 minutes the dizziness subsided. Took another dose (4) hours later, and the vertigo was gone. Highly recommend this drug. I also performed vertigo relief head posturing. In addition, to clear the inner ear of crystallized mineral deposits that cause vertigo."
