Intermittent dizziness?

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.

Keep us posted with an update! Thanks

Meclizine 25mg does need RX; not sure re Antivert 25mg, but think it does also; Bonine 25mg is over the counter but more expensive as your RX can be in a larger amount. I don't find that either makes me sleepy. Maybe if I read either might, but if I am busy, they don't. Yes, sometimes I do take a nap too and feel great afterward. Glad it helps you. Dizziness isn't fun, especially if you have stairs like I do. Be well, Trish
