I started taking Dramamine on Sunday but is that something I can take daily? It does help for a little while when I am here at the house.

Hey hun. Do they sell Serc in your area? I've heard from some that Serc is only available through compounding pharmacies in the USA
Reason I ask is because Serc is EXTREMELY easy to tolerate, and when I had severe vertigo twice, it was the only drug that helped me. It cut my vertigo by 70-80%, and I had intense vertical vertigo (up and down, not the room spin).

I was able to find info about it on a .com. It does have a couple warnings, but from researching it when I was on it, it seemed like a very mild medication for vertigo.
In contrast, Dramamine appears to be Gravol, which is over the counter in Canada at least. Which unfortunately did nothing for my cases of vertigo.

I've not heard of any issues in taking Gravol (I'm not sure if Dramamine is entirely the same drug) daily. If it's helping, all the more power to you, but a pharmacist should be able to confirm if it's safe to take daily.
