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 know that I will not be able to perform my daily routines because it makes me experience more dizziness.

Works very well. Spinning stops but there is a small amount of off-centeredness. Believe it acts as a diuretic some. Don't take all the time only occasionally. Don't like taking meds all the time.

Had vertigo last year & it lasted 6 months before it went away . Went 6 months OK and then it came back again - always in the hot , humid summer months. I took antivert - 6 mg 3-4 times a day ( I cut the 25 mgm tab in fourths. ) It helped a great deal with minimal side effects - I'll start my exercises again and hope this goes away faster this time.

I too was dizzy all the time and was getting tired of it and a bit nervous about it. This med helped pretty quickly, but I was only told about the dry mouth. I am also so sleepy that I can hardly work. I have also experienced nightmares about every other night while on this med.

I use this medication for 2 reasons. 1-for Meniere's Disease and for motion sickness while taking public transportation. It works great for both. I take 25 mg. about an hour before taking the bus and it works fine for that. It works great for the Meniere's disease too.

I woke up this morning and the room was spinning. Took this and I felt worse. Drugs work differently for different people. It can makes the symptoms worse.

I found that antivert versus mecilizine even tho they are supposed to be the same and have the same effect..the antivert when prescribed as such worked faster and was more effective for me.
