Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Decreased the vertigo almost immediately; no further vomiting; I was able to walk and move my head without the awful spinning. |
| Side effects: | | Sedation--I almost the entire time I took the medication...I'm not sure I could have taken this and gone to work. |
| Comments: | | My doctor said the Labyrinthitis is usually preceded by a cold and fluid collects in the inner portion of the ear and causes the dizziness/vomiting. The treatment was symptom relief (using the Meclizine) and the fluid gradually absorbs. |
