I've been prescribed Meclizine 12.5mg (o-T-c) Tablets to help with my vertigo and motion sickness. I've heard it can cause some side effects, but I'm hoping to hear from others who have used it. How long did it take for the medication to start working for you? Did you experience any side effects, and if so, how did you cope with them? I'm also curious about the long-term effects and if anyone has switched to a different medication after using Meclizine. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Be careful with this stuff. I ended up in the ER with a bad reaction. It's rare, but it can happen. Always have your doctor's contact info handy.

I've been taking Meclizine for a few weeks now, and it's helped with my motion sickness, but I'm concerned about the long-term effects. Has anyone else had issues with long-term use? I've had nausea and some fatigue, but it's been really helpful.

I feel like it made me gain some weight. I'm not sure.

I've been on Meclizine for a few months now, and it's been a lifesaver for my motion sickness. It took about a week to notice a significant difference. The drowsiness was tough at first, but I started taking it before bed, and it worked out. Do you have any tips for dealing with the dry mouth?

I've had great success with it. My doctor recommended it, and it's been a game-changer. I took it in low doses, and it really helped me out.

I've been taking Meclizine for a while now, and I've found that it really helps with my vertigo, but I'm starting to worry about the long-term effects. Anyone have any info on that?

I took Meclizine for a few days and it made me feel so spacey and groggy. It didn't agree with me at all.
