Erin, I woke yesterday thinking I was having a vertigo day! I had only dealt with that a few times back a couple years ago. I had been given diazapam I think it was to try next time...but each time I would get dizzy back then, I would be at work and did not want to try that at work without knowing side effects.

anyhow, yesterday to life head all would spin, been ok since, just a bit light stuff now and then since. huggsss cause that feeling is awful, sarah

I just have to thank goodness for the Sam's (WalMart) brand of Black Cherry carbonated water and the Sam's brand of snack crackers.

Once the meclizine kicked in, and the weird hungry feeling that I get when the dizziness is starting to back off came on....I went upstairs and had a bottle of the carbonated water and a handful of crackers...and a couple of mini Kit Kats.

weirdest thing that I get hungry after the spinning starts to get better.

The spinning has not quit, but it's more of a lightheaded feeling now than when the room was actively spinning around.

As long as I dont move my head too quickly, or try to read quickly it's not as freaking horrible as it was. All I want to do now is sleep. I really really hate vertigo. My head hurts like crazy now.

I hope this goes away in a little while. I hate this. ick.

I'm going to go sleep like the dead for a little while.

had this today for the first time - room was moving and I was really nauseous - now after sleeping all morning - it's now 2:30 !

Did you have anything to take for it?

I dont have the room spinning anymore, but there's a feeling of nausea still lurking. I'm still hungry and still eat, but there's just a low grade nausea sensation that's making me feel just not quite right.

Whenever I've had the vertigo, I've found that sleeping thru it helps a lot. I get weird dreams tho...either from the vertigo, or maybe the Meclizine or both. Really bizzare stuff...things that if people could see the dreams, they'd back away slowly and then turn and run away. (nothing creepy really, just whacko)

I go to the neuro later this month. I cant wait. Not only have I had vertigo this week, I've also had increased numbness (well, probably more like wearing gloves) in my left hand. So far as I've noticed, it's only affecting part of my ring finger, a bit of the palm, and my index finger. I cant tell if the middle finger is being bothered by it for some reason.

I'm blaming the dental work I had a few weeks ago.

I find Klonipin far more effective than meclizine.

Yup. Klonopin/Clonazepam is pretty much a wonder drug for me.

It also helps to slow down the nystagmus in my left eye. Speaking of that, I think I will go get some!
