Meclizine for Vertigo "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."

For Vertigo "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 three times a day, and that is fine as I am on the fifth day and still get dizzy. I wake up a lot at night feeling like I have to relieve my kidneys. This is more often than before I took meclizine HCL. I do have a dry mouth, but no real side effects."

"I was diagnosed with vertigo and was prescribed meclizine 25 mg to take 3 times a day. I am not dizzy as before and feel much better. I did not have bad side effects, only dry mouth and tired. However, I did not drive a vehicle while taking the drug, nor did I use machinery. I cannot tell you how that would work in conjunction with the drug."

For Motion Sickness "I have taken regular Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) & now Dramamine II (meclizine). Both are great products. I have no side effects except for slight dry mouth/nostrils, but this is a condition I am prone to without taking meclizine."

Meclizine for Vertigo "My doctor put me on this for vertigo. I had dry mouth and drowsiness, but it stopped the spinning. It was treating the vertigo from a perforated eardrum."
