Meclizine is used to treat a very specific form of vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Meclizine may make you drowsy, which may make you lightheaded and more likely to become vertiginous if you do not have BPPV, or it may not work for you at all, and taking it may delay diagnosis of your actual condition.

If you are continuing to have vertigo symptoms, despite meclizine, or you are getting worse, I would recommend you call or see your physician. You may need additional studies.

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.
