Does Meclizine help with balancing you out? Antihistamines dry out and a water pill? Just curious Iāve never heard that before and I spray water directly in my ears all the time I think Iām going to stop that now.
I take zero medication now.
Omg for sure. Never do that!!
Doctors generally refuse to syringe your ears now as this risk is widely recognised.
I will add though that I had a heavy slug of wax in my ear at the time. It might have been this that added the necessary momentum to cause me the injury.
Hereās someone else who got a similar injury but from diving into a pool.
Needless to say, wonāt be doing that again in a hurry!!
Meclizine is Dramamine. Itās a staple in my personal arsenal.
Btw I donāt think we can get this in the UK
Itās bonine in your area.
Dramamine made me feel horrible antivert is Meclizine im in the US im not sure the different drug types in different places one works there and the FDA says No here one works here and you canāt have it. What about this new Amovig injection? Anyone heard of it itās the first migraine preventative medicine that the FDA approved, supposed to be a antibody that bonds to the protein that causes blood vessels to expand.
Hmmm canāt find that but āsea-legsā seems to be an equivalent but only available on prescription
It depends on which version of Dramamine it is.
Dramamine Original Formula (US, over-the-counter) = Dimenhydrinate
Dramamine āNon-Drowsy Naturalsā (US, over-the-counter) = Ginger (zingiber officinale)(root)
Dramamine āLess Drowsyā (US, over-the-counter) = Meclizine Hydrochloride
Bonine (US, over-the-counter) = Meclizine Hydrochloride
Antivert (US, prescription) = Meclizine Hydrochloride
I guess I could have specified it was the less drowsy version. Still makes me tired.
Yes, I suppose thatās why they call it āless-drowsyā instead of ānon-drowsy.ā
If I take a whole pill, Iām looking at the inside of my eyelids.
Ha, ha! I buy the generic, Rugby brand of Meclizine Hydrochloride (itās WAY cheaper than Dramamine or Bonine) and it comes in 25mg, scored, chewable tablets. So itās easy to break one in half which is sometimes all I need.
I get the same - Rx version.
Hello all, hammet here, I was a lurker and sometimes poster on the forums here about a year ago. Got diagnosed with vestibular migraine pppd and a unilateral deficiency from a concussion playing soccer. Was doing quite well the past 6 months or so after having a heck of a year with this. Well I tried to go back to my 8 hour a day computer job last week, and boy was that a mistake. Feels like between that and the weather changing here in the states Iāve had my first large set back where a lot of the usual symptoms , hypersensitivities to light sound smell and motion as well as the usual off balance feeling and constant nausea )have come back full force. So thanks for having me back and hereās to better days ahead hopefully for everyone here
Dude that was brave. Itās taken me 3 and a half years to get mentally fit again. Hang in there and donāt lose hope. It just takes very much longer. I donāt think many people experience that kind of drawn out recovery timeline. I know an amateur boxer that also got MAV who recovered after a similar timeline
I know Iāll get back to where i was, Iām just kicking myself for trying the old job one last time now with how I feel. Theres small positive points in the day, and in not as worse as last year, just gotta keep my mind on that. And try to control the anxiety of a set back
Yeah, I know exactly what that feels like. Damn all the scrollingā¦ Iām part time with work now at the computer and seem to be okay, but still wonder sometimes if I should just change careersā¦ I guess grass is always greener on the other side though. Hope you feel better soon!
A large part of my job is on the computer as well, so many triggers on that screen! A coworker was showing me something on her screen last week and she started scrolling as I was lookingā¦ wowā¦ messed with me even more when someone else has control of the scroll!
