Reviews for meclizine systemic to treat Vertigo

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.

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: 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.

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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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.

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.
