Meclizine is poorly effective for the majority of cases of dizziness yet it is prescribed with what I refer to as reckless abandon at times from ER s, etc. First, dizziness has to be defined as either VERTIGO or not and then, the UNDERLYING cause needs to be sought and discovered. Medication (meclizine or not) is not going to resolve problem if the vertigo is because an inner ear problem, a circulatory problem, or a brain problem. Your next best move is to see a NEUROLOGIST or if possible a NEURO-OTOLOGIST. The time of 1 week to see a specialist is not bad at all. If you wanted to be seen sooner then, you could try a CVS pharmacy Minute Clinic but typically those are staffed by Nurse Practitioner and from what you re stating I don t think it s likely that you would get much more than either the meclizine back at a higher dose or something else geared toward just treating your symptoms without looking for a cause.
