For Vertigo "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."

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 didn't work because I got sick within 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."

For Motion Sickness "A group of 20+ kids and adults were going on a charter boat to fish. We took this the night before and then again in the morning. Our charter was canceled due to extreme waves in which nothing would have helped. It was a long drive, and nobody got carsick. It did make a lot of us very tired, though. Just a heads up if you're the one driving."

For Motion Sickness "I took 2 Bonine tablets every morning for 3 days at Disney World. I get stomach trouble/breathing going down hills too fast while driving. With this, I went on EVERY crazy ride, including Everest... this is a game changer. Ensure you get sleep beforehand, eat before taking the pill. Was slightly tired but not drowsy."
