Hello. : Hello. Meclizine and Phenobarbital are very different medications and have different mechanisms of action. The Meclizine has a half life of 6 hours and the Phenobarbital has a half life of 53 to 118 hours. Regarding whether you should see a neurologist or an otolaryngologist, i would ask input from your doctor. There are some areas of overlap for conditions that they treat. Your doctor's input might be guided to whether he believes your symptoms are more under the ear/ nose/throat category or if he believes that a number of these symptoms have a neurologic cause.
