Benadryl is a sedating antihistamine, Maybe you can ask your physcian about Non Sedating Antihistamies, won't make you sleepy. You mentioned Claritin, which is a non sedating antihistamine but You also take benadryl. Sounds like to many histamine blockers but Your doc knows best.

Hi Skarlosska,

I take the Benadryl so I can sleep at night and for some strange reasons the antihistamines help relieve the vertigo from the Meniere's along with the diuretic. Also, when I go to bed it keeps me from feeling like I'm spinning... My doctor said it was alright for me to take it and he stated "whatever worked best for ya." I know it sounds like a lot of antihistamines, but it sure has help me out a lot!

Thanks for the post!

I suffer menears . I use to intake alot of salt in my food, overweight for my small size, did not drink water. I began a strict no salt diet, no can foods or frozen foods. Only fresh produce, no milk or cheese. No soda, coffee,sugar or oils. No fried foods only broil or barbecue.

Within a month , I was out of my bed for the first time in 7 months and within 7 more months following this diet I was able to go to work again. I hope this helps someone.

Nice one James - another great video on the Meniere's. I'm going to try the Lipoflavonoid myself. Thanks for the advice!

I was diagnosed with Meneire's in 2002 ...I recently started the "John of Ohio Meniere's Regimen" ... this includes LEMON BIOFLAVONOID, VINPOCETINE, L-LYSINE, GINKGO BILOBA EXTRACT, BETA 1,3 GLUCANS, SUSTAINED RELEASE VITAMIN C, VITAMIN E, MSM (METHYLSUFONYLMETHANE, and last but not least VERTIGOHEEL / COCCULUS COMPOSITUM. I am also going to an accupuncturist, chiropractor, and take an occasional diuretic.

I'm on many different medications for depression and mania. Do you think it would be safe to say that I can use most of the vitamins? I guess its a doctor question.

How hyper does claritin make u?

I have had it for 10 years, attacks are quiescent now and have been for 3 years, but the tinnitus and fullness has returned and hearing loss js so bad i need a hearing aid. but i am a musician. this is not acceptable.

i wonder if it is stress related, at least in my case. i stil have much stress from a cult i left years ago. do you have any thoughts? it is the deafness i am concerned about now

@nas2020ful1 Hi. as far as I can tell it seems Meniere's disease is different on every person, that's the main reason why doctors just can't find a solution for it. For people suffering Meniere's like I do my three advices are these:

1.God

2. Betahistine.

3. Stop worring about it and how it may affect your present and future life as worrying just make it all worse.

As I have said before I suffer Meniere's disease for the last... 40 years!

@alexmottram07 Hi, I hav MS since 2008, with 3 severe episodes taht yr, each lasting for 5hr. Another bouts of attacks recurred this yr. (4x). Have been on betahistine ever since, up to 16mg tds (tid). This yr I m taking 24mg bd (2x/d). I m also taking mecobalamin, but no diuretics. I find that the vertigo attacks will just come & ago without any relationship to the drugs I am taking! I have even stopped taking Betahistine for as long as 2 mth, without getting any single attack.

Do not know what else to do. this 3rd Meniers flare has been unrelenting and progressive since June 2010. Have read all the studies, talked to a few experts, tried accupuncture, herbs, meditation. Currently on maxzide, HCTZ, Niacin, and intermittent Prednisone. Going to try the Enttex P100 device soon. I think God is just trying to either slowly torture or test me. I hope there will be another remission soon.

How did the symptoms start out for you? My neuro-otologist believes it's what I have. I have had symptoms since I was in the 8th grade, about 12 as well. I am now 22. I'm so scared because I have the typical symptoms of Meniere's but have not yet experienced the vertigo yet...and I'm scared it's coming soon.
