bonine / Meclizine daily dosage, and is daily use ok?

Hi everyone, I don't exactly have emetophobia, but suffer from a lot of anxiety related and medication related n* (I saw it spelled in other places don't want to trigger anyone). I changed my birth control and have been suffering for a few weeks. It's worse when I try to eat and after I eat, and I worry that at this point I may develop emetophobia because it's been very hard to go out to eat with my friends when I'm feeling so sick.

Anyway I believe the problems seem to be mostly physical and it seems that Meclizine (otherwise known as bonine, but I got the Rugby brand 12.5 tabs because they don't have lactose) helps for now. I hadn't eaten anything today and was facing a large meal (by myself however) and took a meclizine tablet with the food. It seemed to work well. Since meclizine is just an antihistamine I don't feel too bad about taking it. But I was wondering how often and how many times a day I could take it, and if daily was ok? I saw another thread on here seeming to indicate that daily use shouldn't be problematic but I just wanted to make sure and check about dosing, as well.

Thanks veryone!

I don't know the exact dosing since I self medicate and pretty much go by how I feel. I take Dramamine everyday once or twice. I don't use meclizine which is in the non drowsy. I use original which works a little better. Sorry I'm not too much help but I do take similar pills everyday.
