    Which vertigo pills did she give you?

      Meclizine worked great for me with no side effects. Not sure why you think this medicine has any side effects other than make you slightly sleepy. Loratadine is a basic antihistamine to help drain the ear of any fluids. I took meclizine for a few days until the dizziness stopped.

      Never said it had any side effects. I didn't experience any side effects. Just said it didn't work for me. Doc gave me 2 mg diazepam and it did work.

      This sounds crazy to me maybe because I come from the medical field but my dose was 25mg per tablet. I Fontenot what pills you tried before but these two have very low probability of incidents since they've been around for over 30 years and it would be silly to think that a severe reaction would ensue. But if it makes you feel better to cut them in half, go ahead. This way you can see if you react to them which I doubt you will. Good luck.

      I'm not a pill popper either, nor do I let doctors control what I take. But like I said Meclizine is the only drug out there that stops the vertigo and nausea feeling, at least in my experience. Such a mild dose however, may not be as effective as a full one.

      But try and see.

      I take the 2 mg diazepam to stop the vertigo. That's what they found works when I had a bad episode and ended up in the hospital for 3 days. Was real bad. I couldn't even walk. Ambulance came and got me. Pumped me full of anti nausea meds. Riding backwards in the ambulance sucked, already feeling like that.

      Thank for getting back in touch i never had the spinning sensation just feel like I'm walking on a trampoline I feel like the walls are moving up and down iv had all the test done they have all come back clear it's not my ears whats causing the problem ive had all the tests done theyve come back clear. All the specialists ive seen keep saying there is an underlying problem but the specialists are baffled. Do you have the spinning sensation?

      I was feeling this way when I was going through perimenopause. It went away on its own but it took a while. Taking Dramamine seemed to help, it's a strange feeling but I know it because of the drop in estrogen. Have you considered this possibility?

      Good luck in January when you see neurologist i hope they can find what causing your problem

      When i see a neurotologist he told me to close my eyes with my arms out straight March on the spot when i open my eyes i turned to the left he said I've got a weak balance system

      I did that test 10 years ago. Lol. How they figured out was my left ear. VNG shows only 30% left side response.

      I had that test done a year ago they still do not know what causing the weak balance system in my left ear I'm just getting worse. I hope they can help you
