the prescription meclizine didnt seem to help.

But taking the 10yr old raspberry flavored over the counter meclizine and then sleeping for a half hour seems to have helped me. Weird. I dont know if it was the sleep, or the raspberry flavor meclizine. Or a combination of all three...the sleep, the Rx meclizine and the OTC meclizine...(that's probably what did it)

I do have some peeps upstairs. 1yr old peeps. and a huge bag of miniature kit kats and reeses peanut butter cups. Maybe I could make peep s'mores later and hope it doesnt make me sicker.


I'm still spinning some, but now it's going slower and as long as I dont turn my head, or close my eyes while standing, it's better than it was earlier this morning. I can make jokes about food without feeling super queasy

I can tell that it's going away. It's the weirdest thing, sometimes when I get vertigo and take the raspberry flavored OTC meclizine, once the spinning starts to let up, I get really really really hungry. It's the strangest thing.

I'm not eating anything for several hours tho. I learned the hard way last year to wait several hours before eating something after a bad vertigo attack like that.

I guess this is payback for having all that dental work done a week and a half ago...(or payback for not going to the dentist and getting the problem taken care of a couple of years ago when the problem started)

I think I'll go sleep off the meclizine. I'm still spinny. at least it's not as horrible as it was a few hours ago. I wanted to die then.
