I took the drug for dizzy spells. I stopped taking it after it gave me a very bad headache. I consulted my physician. They pulled me off the drug.

I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo. The meclizine did nothing but give me a splitting headache. I stopped taking it after the first pill as recommended by my doctor

Comment:
I USED MECLIZINE FOR VERTIGO AND IT WORKED. IT TOOK ABOUT 4 DAYS TO SHOW RESULTS. I TOOK 3 PILLS DAILY, MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT WITH FOOD. THE DIZZINESS WERE ELIMINATED ON THE 3RD DAY. THE VERTIGO WAS COMPLETELY GONE IN 7 DAYS. I'VE BEEN USING MECLIZINE FOR YEARS. IT ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME. DON'T DRIVE WHILE TAKING IT AND DON'T DRINK. GOOD LUCK!!!
