Intermittent dizziness?

Reading glasses outside will make you disoriented. Even walking around inside with mine on gets to me. Surprised you do it. I have used Meclizine 25mg for years. One tablet soon after getting up in am usually helps all day. It is cheaper my prescription, but the same as Bonine which is OTC, or Antivert which I think also requires RX. Atmospheric changes always cause me disoriented feelings - lightheaded - different than dizzy. Can you get RX?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. When I'm dizzy and need to go shopping, I wear my sunglasses inside the stores. And if I need to read a label, I put my reading glasses on top of them! Looks ridiculous but the sunglasses really help the dizziness for some reason.

So I can't believe I never tried meclizine for my dizziness. I think I was afraid it would make me too drowsy, like Benadryl. Today I bought some generic meclizine and took 25 mg. I needed a nap, so did that. Woke up clear-headed, dizziness gone, no grogginess at all! Is this simple miracle really going to help me? Unbelievable. I'm going to do some experiments with it over the next few days. Today I was dizzy on and off, felt really terrible. 1.5 hours after meclezine, and a nap, I feel fine.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I'll keep you guys posted! And yes, I can get a prescription if I need one.
