From my own experience, I have found Cinnarizine to be quite effective at counter-acting the dizziness. I have long experienced bouts of dizziness but recently I succumbed to the winter vomiting virus and this has caused my dizzy spells to worsen considerably. This has affected my mobility and balance and walking has become increasingly difficult. Within 2/3 days of taking Cinnarizine my dizziness is back under control and I am feeling much more confident.
