I am highly sensitive to medication so I can't take the prescription or over the counter motion sickness meds to help with vertigo. Has anyone found relief using the motion sickness wrist bands?

Hello PLZdielyme! You are having severe vertigo? What antibiotic are you on? The "cycline" antibiotics cause alot of that for me

I'm on Mepron, Zithro and about to add in Plaquenil.

Recently finished a round of cipro for kidney infection but I don't believe that had any effect. I'm not sure what the differences between antibiotics are.

The wrist bands seem more placebo than anything else. But I have heard of them working for less intense motion sickness. I'm sorry to hear you are having it that bad. Promethazine has worked for me to minimize the nausea and heads spinning from it. I also chew on a lemon wedge, and eat turmeric root and ginger root like snacks. That helps lesser symptoms, and it seems to be accumulative so I have started consuming those daily.

Hi Steph, Have heard of some people using Benadryl for dizziness but have not used it myself. I switched over to penicillins and it helped with the dizziness. Mine was severe in the beginning as well. Gets better.
