The reason the exact same drug is available both as a prescription and as an over-the-counter drug is because the prescription drug is used to treat vertigo, a condition whose cause should be evaluated by a physician, while the over-the-counter version is used to treat motion sickness, a condition we can treat ourselves. Vertigo can be caused by many, many different things. I urge you to only treat your vertigo with the over-the-counter medication ONLY until you can get in to see a doctor.

Okey dokey! The Dramamine (Meclazine) and the exercises the folks here shared with me really do seem to be helping. HoneyBoy will be home next week, so if I'm not all better by then I'll go see a doctor. Thanks for the information!
