What is meclizine used to treat?

Meclizine is an antihistamine that is commonly used to treat nausea, vertigo, and dizziness. It may be prescribed in conjunction with narcotic painkillers (or other drugs that are known to cause mild nausea) to minimize the nausea associated with taking opioids, or it may be prescribed for motion sickness associated with travel. Meclizine has NO EUPHORIC SIDE EFFECTS. In other words, it does not and cannot "get you high", regardless of how many you take. It is similar to benadryl, but does not have the hypnotic side effects to the same extent as benadryl, although mild drowsiness may occur in some people. If you are looking for a prescription high, and I hope you are not, then this is definitely the wrong the drug to use.


Can you take Benadryl and meclizine at the same time?

No, you do not take two antihistamines at the same time. You may choose either benadryl OR Claritin, but not both. Overdosing on antihistamines causes severe sedative effects which might make you become confused or pass out. You might have trouble breathing. You will get twice the drying out effects, and will almost certainly get a splitting sinus headache or nosebleed.


What does the drug meclizine show up show up as on a drug screen?
