Hello,
Meclizine is an antihistamine, it has side effects like severe dizziness, trouble breathing, allergic reaction or swelling of the tongue, etc. When you take antihistamines you should stay at rest, avoid walking or driving. It can cause weakness due to dizziness. You should report to the treating doctor if you have these symptoms so that the medicines can be changed with those that suit you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
