Medical treatments
Over the counter medication such as dimenhydrinate (Dramamine®), meclizine (Bonine®), and cyclizine (Marezine®) may be helpful. Ginger, Vitamin B6, or Gingko Bilboa.
Prescription medications include anticholinergic drugs, such as scopolamine (Transderm Scop®), prochlorperazine (Compazine®), and meclizine (Antivert®), as well as sedatives, including diazepam (Valium®), lorazepam (Ativan®), and alprazolam (Xanax®).

I agree that vertigo and dizziness are symptoms, not conditions. Vertigo and dizziness are not the same thing. It sounds as if you never had the cause of your episodes diagnosed or treated. It was suggested that you try Benadryl and Dramamine. These are both OTC and readily available. Both Benadryl and Dramamine have drowsiness as one of the common adverse effects. Anything else effective is by prescription only. See a doctor. Make the time, make the opportunity, make whatever arrangements necessary. Something's causing the headaches, the nausea and the dizziness and it needs to be evaluated. If you leave this untreated, you run the risk of injury to yourself and/or to the babies.

This is going to sound silly, because I certainly thought it was--but I went to many doctors to include neurologists and such for the symptoms to include vertigo. Nobody could help me. They thought I had MS or some other nervous system disorder. Turned out it was vertigo. A medical assistant is the one who uncovered it. He told me to hit myself behind my ears--with a pillow. He explained there is a compartment behind the ears that when the body is starved of oxygen, crystals will form in there. This is what one of the causes for vertigo is. I happen to have sleep apnea so I thought what the heck. I went home and after thinking about it--I had nothing to lose--I tried it.
Remarkably, it went right away. Immediately. I was impressed. Just tap behind the ears a few times and take some Dramamine. I have to do it periodically but it does work.

Treatment
Treatment for vertigo, or dizziness, depends on identifying and eliminating the underlying cause. If a particular medication is responsible for the condition, lowering the dosage or discontinuing the drug may eliminate vertigo.

Dramamine is good choice. However, if vertigo is caused by underlying sinus infection taking a drug like sudafed will also help.

There are and I have had great results with antivert (meclizine). You can buy it over the counter, but most pharmarcies keep it behind the counter, so you'll have to ask for it

Try New VidaCell. It is an all natural, organic, functional food supplement. You can't buy it in a store. It is kind of expensive but if you sign up as a distributor you can get it 40% cheaper and get credit for what you buy, sell, or use.
