Hi, I had this problem too after many sinus infections. Really scary. I started taking over the counter Meclizine 25 mg up to 3 times a day. It made me very sleepy at first but my body adjusted to it. It is not the same as dramamine. Ask the pharmacist specifically for the Meclizine. Perscription is sometimes called Antivert. It works really well. Then my body adapts and I won't need it for a long time as long as my allergies are under control.

Ok, saw my ENT this morning and he has scheduled at CTscan for a couple of days from now. Stinks I have to wait that long, but nothing i could do about it. However, he is putting me back on another round of steroids(Predinsone) and he thinks maybe another round will help. I hate steroids!!

He thinks being off the Zyrtec will help me and the fact that now that the sinus infection is gone he thinks the steroid should work this time. We'll see.

It is funny and strange that these dizziness always comes around the time i have a sinus infection. I guess I just need to prevent these sinus infections more and hopefully i won't get these dizzy spells.

I am feeling a bit better today being off Zyrtec and hopefully my head will loosen up and whatever is causing this dizziness will come out.

Oh, my ENT also recommended the Meclizine and I think i will try it tonight and see how it works. Anything to get rid of this dizziness!
