Hi Mr/Ms Captain!
I've never suffered from vertigo but I HATE antihistamines. I haven't taken meclizine but I've had really bad experiences with other antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl/Nytol) and promethazine (Phenergan). They made me extremely fatigued so I couldn't even get out of bed. Also, they made me very dizzy.
Do you have the hyoscine (Scopoderm / Transderm Scop) patch in your country? (whatever that may be). It is sometimes helpful for reducung the nausea of vertigo. It is also used for motion sickness.
Ed.
PS. Like the name captain!
