My cat is restless on Meclizine. Can I safely mix it with Cerenia?

Question

17 yr, 11.8 lb, cat has kidney dysfnct. On 1/24 she showed symptoms of inner ear prob or vestibular. My vet prescribed Cerenia but it can only be given 1x in 24 hrs and it wears off at about 12 hrs. So, vet added half a tab of meclizine to her regimen, but it seems like it makes her restless(?) Gets up and moves from sleeping place to place every 30m or so. Is it ok to mix the 2 drugs? Where can I look for effects of meclizine on cats. Symptoms are head tilt, falls, staggers. Appetite is fair. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 16 years and 8 months old | 12 lbs

Cerenia and meclizine have different mechanisms of action so it should not be a problem. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, you may want to discuss diagnostics and referral for disease in the brain.
