Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

The answer to your question is yes, Cyclizine as an antihystamine drug can help reducing dizziness and you can use it as soon as possible when dizziness starts.

Regarding to your description your symptoms fit more into Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, especially if dizzy spells are related to certain head positions and movements.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
