Drowsiness?: I am assuming you saw a doctor for the diagnosis of vertigo. If you did and have significant symptoms, the meclizine is one of the meds used to help the condition. if your dx was by a friend and the med was not prescribed for you then see your MD. drowsiness can be a side effect

I have pretty bad vertigo. DRs have not been able to find the cause and physical therapies have not helped. The only thing that helps is meclizine and Ive had to take it daily for years now. Is there long term effects to this medication daily?

A member asked:

If Dramamine helps, does that mean lightheadedness (no spin) is related to vertigo? Dramamine makes me feel better and 6 hours later I start to feel bad again. I take another one and an hour later I feel better again. Its a cycle for days now.
