gertie Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have McClezine to take when I have a Meniere's attack. I took 1/2 dose & my legs started burning & felt like the nerves were twitching or jerking. Have any of you taken this drug & had this problem. It felt like neuropathy & restless leg. One more drug I can't take. This is getting very depressing. Do you think this is because of dysautonomia? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi Alicia, I took it for a long time when I first got diagnosed with meneire's, but it's an anticholinergic, so caused all kinds of problems for me too.I take very low dose valium now and don't have nearly the problems. Like I'm on 1/2 mg right now, which is pretty much an infant dose. But it has worked better than anything else I have ever tried. Knock on wood... morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I used to take either Meclizine or Dramamine for my Meniere's. My biggest problem was always the sleepiness. If I take 2 Dramamine before a flight, I'm out the entire trip, with my head lolling and drooling on my neighbors. Not a pretty sight. I can only tolerate small doses.Cheers,Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertie Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Thanks. I have Ativan but I wonder if it's as effective as Valium for Meniere's. Meniere's is a disease from...you know where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
