Before taking this medication I felt like the room was spinning and light headed, If I didnt sit down I was gonna fall down. But now that I am taking it I feel great and back to normal again and I can keep my ballance. I would recommend this to anyone with these kind of symptoms. Atleast you can get out of the unsteady phase and back to normal again.

I take these only as needed when spinning starts. Spinning causes nausea and I can't stop throwing up. Therefore, I cannot keep the pill down long enough to work. When it finally stays down long enough, it works well to keep the nausea at bay. Makes me very sleepy.

I was prescribed Meclizine because I was suffering from Dizzy spells. It did nothing for me. The spells got worse, but ultimately stopped after I quit taking the meds and flushed them. Before you take this drug, get a second opinion.

Had my first attack of VERTIGO this past summer. I would get up from the bed and went down on the pillows. No control to stop it. Sitting along time waiting to see the DOCTOR, got up and my HUSBAND caught me before I fell. Did have repositioning which did away with the VERTICO. Then all of a sudden every time I get up from my bed and walk a little, I get dizzy. So the DOCTOR put me on ANTI-VERT 2 TIMES A DAY. I get tired but it is working and I am also trying PHYSICAL THERAPY. I am hoping one day I can stop taking the ANTI-VERT. However, I was told once one has VERTIGO, they always have it but it may not be active. Really thrilled about this!Read More Read Less
