Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Dramamine is probably a baddie - any of the " amines " tend to be. My Dad took something called Meclazine (or Metlazine ??) for dizziness ... didn't harm - not sure it helped either.

(Can cause mental confusion, possibly some psychiatric symptoms, reduce the benefits derived from Aricept, etc). I don't recall any meds recommended for dizziness, but would make sure the doctor has ruled out low blood pressure, other medical conditions (UTI,etc) or meds that could be causing or increasing the dizziness.
