I have prescription strength Meclizine. It's 25mg a pill. The instructions on the bottle say that I can take one pill three times a day.
If you're taking the OTC Meclizine (Antivert?) ask a pharmacist how much you can take. Or, ask your doctor for Rx strength Meclizine, or see if they can give you a Rx for some Serc. (I've never taken Serc, so I dont know how effective it is)
Vertigo is the one symptom that I get that my neuro wont even ask me to come in for. He just calls in a Rx to the pharmacy for the Meclizine. He's almost given me steroids for it once or twice, but I've refused the steroids when he's offered them because I'd rather be spinning than spinning and having the annoying and irritating side effects of the steroids.
