User Reviews for Meclizine

Bonine (meclizine): 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.

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

meclizine: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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): 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: 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.

meclizine: 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): Works for me.

Bonine (meclizine): 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.

meclizine: 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.

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

meclizine: 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.

Dramamine II (meclizine): I had to take 75mg of it, but it did work!

Antivert (meclizine): My doctor put me on this for vertigo. I had dry mouth and drowsiness but stopped the spinning. It was treating the vertigo from a perforated ear drum.

meclizine: I have had vertigo for 4 weeks now, and absolutely nothing has helped with getting rid of it. My doctor prescribed me Meclizine. I took it and no changes to my vertigo whatsoever. Now on to the next drug.

meclizine: I acquired light induced vertigo after visiting a Christmas shop that contained a whole room filled with brightly lit trees. I am extremely dizzy and nauseous if I do not take meclizine 3 times a day. I have absolutely no side effects but I am concerned about the long term effects from the meclizine.

meclizine: I have re-occurring bouts of vertigo about 3-4 times a year. It seldom lasts more than 14-20 hours but is severe at times, spinning surroundings, and feeling of falling backwards. Usually the drowsy feeling stays with me for 2 days. I have tried the natural remedies but find that Bonine or Meclizine works the best for me. I have had a hard time to find it over the counter the past year.

Antivert (meclizine): I have taken Antivert for years. For some reason I cannot get it either from Medco or local pharmacy. It is an effective medication. Now I do not know what to do.

meclizine: I fly often but this last trip I woke up the next day with dizziness anytime I lowered my head. Difficult since I work on the computer all day and meet with clients so I am up and down all day. My doctor prescribed it 3 times a day and that is fine as I am on the 5th day and still get dizzy. I wake up a lot at night feeling like I have to relieve my kidney's. This is more often then before I took meclizine HCL. I do have dry mouth but no real side effects.
