| 1 | Nausea in the ER | I received an arm injection about 4 days ago and my upper arm has been in EXTREME pain ever since. The medicine also made me feel very uncomfortable/jittery. I had a hard time going to sleep. I don't know if the nurse went to high up on my arm or what but this pain is terrible. I never heard of compazine before but I will NOT be taking it again!! | RECALL!!! | F | 30 | 0 days | 7/5/2017 | 1 | E.R | I went into the e.r due to a massive panic attack I had all day when I got there they gave me fluids and a malox cocktail bc of the nausea and also wanted to give me promethazine however I explained I couldn’t due to my current medication so they administered compazine instead which id never heard of. What a freakin nightmare! I thought I was beginning to calm down but I got the sudden feeling that my skin was crawling especially my legs bc I was so drained from my long day of panic attack I fell asleep for 10 minutes and woke up in horrible jitters and insomnia I begged them to help me so the nurse said they can give me benedryl but I thought it would make me worse so I passed. When I went home I finally got some on and off again sleep today it is 3:30p.m and I still can feel the effects not as bad but it is there and makes it hard to focus on my day. This needs to be banned immediately or researched and revised. Please!! | Never will i have this in my system ever again. Beware | F | 28 | 1 days 1syringe | 6/8/2017 | 1 | Migraine and nausea | Horrible anxiety - uncontrollable shaking - perceived inability to breathe- tightening of the throat - extreme fear | This drug needs to be removed from the market. This drug should NEVER be given to a patient without warning of side effects. No one would want this drug knowing the side effects. | F | 49 | 1 days 10 MG IV | 6/3/2017 | 1 | migraine | restless, anxious, severe panic attacks | this med should be banned from the medical field period. I had severe panic attacks for 4 -5 days after taking it! | F | 31 | 1 days | 5/16/2017 | 1 | Migraine & Nausea | I went to the ER with a bad migraine with the desire to get a CT scan for it. I got one, and they gave me Compazine and Benadryl through an IV drip afterward. The Benadryl did not even remotely help me. Instantaneously after the Compazine went into my arm, I got a burning, hot feeling around my heart that spread down the rest of my body. I was shaking violently, getting cold and hot at the same time, could not focus on anything, and I was sweating profusely. It has been one day since this drug was given to me and I have had two violent panic attacks since. Six hours after I went home from the hospital, my body seized up until my hands and legs could not move and I was barely able to breathe. We called an ambulance and they were able to bring me back down over the course of an hour, but I was trembling the rest of the night and could not sleep. Nine o'clock this morning, I seized up a second time and was hyperventilating uncontrollably for an hour. We went to the hospital and I was only able to calm down and breathe again and move my hands when they gave me Xanax. My chest still feels heavy, my heart hurts, I have constant heartburn and a burning sensation in my throat. I would much rather have migraines and nausea for days at a time than ever be given this drug again and I will refuse it if they ever try to administer it once more. | Why in the world is this drug on the market? | F | 17 | 1 days Unsure | 5/12/2017 | 1 | Migraine | WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Went to the ER for a migraine. Was given Compazine in an IV. Within 15 minutes, I felt like I wanted to die. I wanted to leave the hospital and rip out my IV. My mouth was so dry and I couldn't sit still. I don't know how I drove myself home. It's been four days and I still don't feel back to normal. | I wish I could sue the ER doc that gave me this. | F | 50 | 1 days 1X D | 5/9/2017 | 1 | migraine | Reglan, phenergan and ativan also give me that panic feeling. It's called Akathesia and if it ever happens again, have them give you Cogentin and a couple of xanax and it will disipate within 20 minutes. They tried the benadryl route but did not help me at all. They kept telling me to sit still but it was impossible. Finally a med student came up with the Cogentin and I keep it written in my phone. Worst feeling ever! I remember having crazy thoughts like wanting to jump from the car on the way back to the ER. Totally irrational thoughts. | F | 45 | 1X D | 5/5/2017 | 1 | nausea due to pelvic radiation | sleeping more than 20 hours a day. Couldn't wake up. Couldn't stop moving my jaw or legs. While I was sleeping others observed my legs and jaw moving. | Doctor told me it usually only happens in the elderly. It took days for the symptoms to go away after I stopped taking the medication. | F | 32 | 2 weeks 1X D | 5/1/2017 | 1 | Sickle Cell and headache | As they gave me the injection of compazine, they also gave me Benadryl. The nurse said that is would take my headache away and also ease my sickle cell pain. I've never been admistered this drug for my sickle cell crisis but didn't question it. As soon as the nurse left, my body immediately started feeling cold. The IV fluid felt like freezing water. I began feeling as though I had to move around to stay alive. I began yelling for the nurses and no one would respond. I began pacing the room, and eventually I ran out to the nurses station in tears asking them to get the medicine "out of my system". I wanted to commit suicide just to stop what I was feeling. The nurse took me back in the room and took my vitals. My heart was beating fast and I began to sweat. The nurse left to notify the doctor and she administered morphine, my normal treatment for sickle cell, and I immediately went to sleep. This was a horrible feeling. | F | 28 | 1 days | 4/20/2017 | 1 | Migraine | My mom was given compazine approximately 12 hours ago and it has been a nightmare. She was extremely cold, confused, kept saying "let me go" (as in 'die'), and kept trying to get out of bed to go outside. I will be sure that have the doctors put in her file to NOT give her this ever again. This experience has been a nightmare. | Do NOT recommend | F | 57 | 1 days | 4/18/2017 | 1 | Stop nausea due to migraine headach | Shortly after the comazine injection, I felt abnormal nervousness. I sat down, then I had to stand up and walk around, then I had to sit down again. My body felt restless and mentally I was starting to get worried. I fet jittery, very uncomfortable. The doctors kept me in the ER for an hour under observatioin because I also had an injection of imitrix for the migraine. They gave me a second injection of imitrix, which is according to the label. I had no problem with the imitrix and I have used it successfully since then with the package for patients that comes with a self-injector. A couple years later, when I had to go to the ER again for severe vomiting due to a migraine, I told them NOT to give me compazine. They gave me a different anti-nausea medication and I did not experience any side effects. | I am very glad to hear that Compazine has been removed from the market in the USA by the FDA. How on earth this medication was approved in people who do not have a speciic psychosis is unfathomable. My first dose and only dose was given in 1998. That it took this long to have Compazine removed from the market just goes to show how ineffective the FDA is. Horrible medication. | F | injection 1X D | 4/14/2017 | 1 | Migraine | Do not take this drug. I had it in the ER along with Toradol for migraine and I had the nurse stop it and take my IV out. I started having panic attacks. I was in the hospital for six days getting this under control believe me it's not worth it. I should have asked for Zofran. I regret ever going to get help that day but I was deperate for relief when my migraine med failed me at home. | F | 44 | 1 days 20 | 3/31/2017 | 1 | Migraines | Don't take this crap. You will be jumpy and have a hard time sleeping. No sure when it will wear off but I took it at 9am and it is 1:50pm and still nothing. ER gave me Benadryl with it and didn't tell me the side effects. The nurse should be fired for that. This stuff is found in preworkout and that's why preworkout is dangerous. Can't even type right | F | 22 | 1 days 5 | 3/30/2017 | 1 | nausea | 1. tongue swollen twice as large 2. eyes bulging and rolling 3. throat closing 4. muscles along spinal column spasmed and pulled my head as far back as it could go without breaking it off my neck 5. EXTREME TERROR (no brainer) 6. sweating profusely 7. excessively high heart rate | THIS MEDICATION WAS JUST ABOUT LIFE-RUINING FOR ME. I was a kid. Thirteen years old at the time. Stomach issues and had reported nausea. Compazine was the little slice of hell they dished out to me in my IV. I have literally never been the same since that day. I have suffered chronic and severe Panic and Anxiety disorders and even Agoraphobia at one point. I am now 61. Still afraid to take ANY new drug but particularly RX drugs. I will cut the pill in half just to see if it will kill me. The doctors back then called my reaction "mini-strokes" ... even after giving me medicine to bring me around... I still had two more bouts from that one dose of the C-word ; Compazine. | F | 61 | 1X D | 3/29/2017 | 1 | Hospital | I went To The Hospital Cause I Wasnt Feeling Well, Headace And Nausea, So The Doctors Gave Me An Iv "Cocktail" Once They Put The Compazine In My iv, I Had A Immediate PANIC ATTACK! I Felt Even Worse After, I Just Started Shaking, Very Cold, Anxious No Matter What I Did Nothing Work I Thought I was going to Die! IM NEVER TAKING THAT AGAIN I RATHER DIE!!!! | F | 24 | 1 days 30 | 3/28/2017 | 1 | Nausea/Migraine | I was at the ER for an IV drip and Compazine and about 5 minutes after having the Compazine injected I started panicking. I was sobbing uncontrollably and it felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin. I kept telling the nurse that I needed to leave and that I wanted to die. When I got home the feeling had not passed, it didn't matter what I did - stand, sit, eat, lay down, shower, I was just very uncomfortable regardless of what I did. It triggered an absolute panic attack, I will never take it again. | F | 19 | 1 days 1X D | 3/14/2017 | 5 | Severe Nausea | No side effects | I know many people do not recommend this drug which I was shocked about. I have what is called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and compazine is literally the only drug that stops my nausea. When I get an episode of my CVS, I have to be put on compazine and fluids both through my IV in order for me to get better. I have been hospitalized about 6 times in the past 4 years due to my condition and every time the doctors have given me reg land, zofran, benadryl etc in different cocktails and compazine is the one thing that never fails. Im really surprised to see it has not worked out for so many people. I have NEVER had the feeling of "crawling out of my skin" or any suicidal thoughts. I suppose everyone really is different. | F | 21 | 2 days 30 Mg 2X D | 3/10/2017 | 1 | I was in er for migraine | My heart rate went up to 180 | F | 32 | 1 days 30 mg | 3/2/2017 | 1 | Migraine | I suddenly felt very agitated and felt like I would pass out. I felt extremely cold and couldn't get warm. I checked my blood pressure and it dropped to 78/48. I got extremely restless legs. I thought I was dying but couldn't get off couch. NEVER again will I take this medicine! | Never take this medicine! | F | 57 | 1 days | 3/1/2017 | 1 | Migraine | As soon as they gave me the migraine cocktail with compazine, I went into a full blown panic attack. I had to call for the nurse twice because they did not give me a call Button. I told them I wanted the IV taken out of my arm. They kept asking me if I was sure and I told him yes that I wanted it taken out. They said that they can give me Benadryl to counteract the medicine but I told them just to take it out that I had to leave the room. Finally, once they brought me outside I was able to calm down some and they gave me some Benadryl. I'm so glad I had someone to drive me home because I was totally out of it with the medication and did not comprehend anything that was going on. Also was jittery and had no appetite to eat. When I got home, I kept falling asleep, getting up and walking around. I couldn't even stand to watch TV for only a certain limit of time. This is the worst experience ever. I would never take this medication again. I would rather have a migraine. | No one should take this medication. | F | 40 | 1 days | 2/24/2017 | 1 | Migraine headache | I began to experience severe restlessness almost immediately after the IV administration of Compazine. I was unable to sit or lie still. I, particularly, felt an overwhelming need to move my legs. I was aware I shouldn't do it but I ripped out my intravenous line and fled the emergency room without being discharged. I couldn't control the urge. | People who have had a bad reaction to Compazine need to be aware the same thing may happen with other medications in its class. I had similar reactions to both Thorazine and Reglan. | F | 45 | 1 days Unsure | 12/31/2016 | 1 | Migrane | Felt Like Dying. | When they gave me this medicine they also gave me benadryl & It make me tired always but with the companzine I couldn't stay still I took my IV too the bathroom & the blood was going down thr IV the nurse was telling me something but I didn't care I just wanted too run & take the IV off , I try too sit or lay down but I couldn't I was a bad reaction & I felt like that for 5 days I hate it NEVER TAKE IT | F | 24 | 1 days | 12/3/2016 | 1 | Nausea and vomiting | I began to have facial twitching that might be permanent I had trouble being still but that is going away | It is a very good med but if you have side effects it is a good idea to talk to your doctor about it right away | F | 54 | 8 years 20 mg | 12/1/2016 | 3 | Migraine | The compazine made me feel somewhat disoriented and very cold. It wasn't a horrible feeling but it definitely wasn't pleasant. | I was given Compazine as part of a "migraine cocktail" along with Toradol and Benadryl. It helped to greatly alleviate my migraine symptoms. | F | 19 | 1 days | 11/24/2016 | 1 | ER visit/ headache | Supra Ventricular Tachycardia | I was convinced this medicine was going to kill me in the Emergency Room. I was sick, had a fever, felt light headed. I had some kind of minor virus. I never told the nurse or doctor I had a beadache, but I was young and didn't question why they wanted to give me a "headache cocktail". Within a minute of receiving a compazine and benadryl doese through my IV, I suddenly felt pure fear, and doom. I told my friend something is very wrong. My head jerked to the right, my tongue felt stiff, and my heart beat steadily went up to over 180 beats per minute. The Dr and nurse ran in, and they called for a crash cart. They gave me 2 shots to bring my heart rate back to normal. It pounded so hard I could see my chest beating up and down. I felt my heart pounding even in my nose. Finally they got me back to normal, but this episode has forever screwed me up. I started having severe anxiety and panic attacks after this. This was almost 10 years ago, and it still haunts me. These idiots need to stop giving this medicine in the ER. | F | 37 | 1 days | 11/19/2016 | 1 | migraine | NEVER AGAIN DOOM AND DREAD!!! TRAPPED AND HOPELESS!!! A WARNING AT THE HOSPITAL THAT THIS KIND OF A REACTION COULD HAPPEN WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE! | SUICIDAL. I was trying to figure out how to kill myself in the hospital minutes after being given this horrible drug in a IV. I freaked out and felt horror and doom and hopelessness that I can only describe as the depths of hell. I was pleading with God for relief and screaming for help. I was confused enough that I couldn't think clearly enough to explain what I was feeling to the nurses. I tried to pull my IV out and run away before the nurse gave me more benedryl. I was literally coming up with a suicide plan just to get some relief because I didn't know if I could handle the mental anguish much longer. Luckily the added benedryl knocked me out and I woke still nervous and traumatized but a hundred times better. It's been five days and I still feel some doom and dread at moments and like my regular psych meds are possibly stronger and even make me feel better at times than is typical, since having compazine five days ago. It seemed to temporarily recalibrate my baseline or how my meds effect my brain chemistry or something. I think it will get better soon but SO NOT COOL!!! I am just so glad the worst of it didn't last very long. If you decide to try this med for some Godforsaken reason take a trusted friend to watch you and support you. | F | 40 | 1 days 1X O | 10/23/2016 | 1 | Migraine,nausea | Very restless feeling,super jittery | I was given this when I went to the emergency room after almost passing out at work. They said I had a migraine and gave me compazine. The doctor warned me I might get jittery and feel like I wanted to leave. If it happened I was told I could have Benadryl. It helped a little but I still felt very jittery for a few days afterwards.im pretty sure my heart rate shot up for awhile also but I was pretty out if. I just know the monitor started beeping. I don't recommend anyone take this. | F | 26 | 1 days | 10/23/2016 | 1 | ER migrane cocktail | Couldn't breathe,Heart palpitations,I thought I was dying and was okay with that.Every breath I took tasted like I was chewing on the tip of a Sharpie marker,I've been in a constant anxiety attack for the last few weeks. | Don't ever let them getting this drug it is the most horrible thing I've ever experienced. I have to go to a Cardiologist now because I have such bad heart palpitations. I will soon see if this drug actually is going to kill me. | M | 32 | 1 days IV 30 mg 1X O | 10/14/2016 | 1 | Headache from being struck | I received this medication after not having anything to eat for more than 24 hours and I felt very nauseated as well as restless and jittery after receiving it. Then the roof of my mouth began to peel and now it burns when I eat or drink anything whether cold or hot spicy or not. | I was given this medication along with Benadryl through an IV and would recommend that if offered, refuse this med. My headache came after a pint of paint fell and struck me in the head. | F | 49 | 1 days 1X D | 10/10/2016 | 1 | Headache Cocktail IV w/ benadryl | SEVERE REACTION- sudden arm cramp/pain below IV site,spike of fever, agitation, anger, panic attack, EKG and BP changes | The IV benadryl was given with IV Compazine to prevent any reaction. Did not work! | M | 16 | 1 days Unknown | 9/21/2016 | 1 | Headache | Panic, scared and could not sit still. wanted to tear my IV out. Have never felt like this before. I kept asking to go home. It's been 48 hours and I am still jittery and my chest feels tight. This stuff needs to be banned! Benadryl did not help me. | F | 52 | 1 days IV | 9/13/2016 | 1 | Headaches | Dizzy,restless, out of the world | I got this as a migraine protocol and it messed with me so bad. I had to go back to the ER to get help this medicine will make you feel like you are dying it's is a horrible drug that makes one feel like you will have to move constantly and just cry bc there's nothing you can do to control it. | M | 18 | 2 days 10mg | 9/12/2016 | 1 | Headache | I was given this in the ER for a headache and within minutes of it given through my IV I felt like I was going crazy.. I was restless, kicking my legs, trying not to cry. I felt like I was going to explode through my skin. I felt extremely sick and jittery for 24 hours and now 3 days out I still can't eat anything and I feel so nauseous. Take this off the shelves I had sucidal thoughts and felt like dying was better then what I was feeling. I am terrified of this drug and hope no one else has to go through what I did. | F | 28 | 1 days | 8/31/2016 | 1 | Headache | Do not take this, HEART RACING, Sweaty, jittery, thought I was crawling out of my skin!!! My mouth would make funny twitches as well as body!! Thought I was crazy | F | 39 | 1 days | 8/16/2016 | 1 | Migraine | Suicidal thought she leading to overdose on Tylenol, Advil and gravol | My daughter spent 4 days under a form after attempting suicide after a migraine and compazine. We were never told of potential side effects! We almost lost our beautiful happy daughter to this drug! I am so happy to read these posts and Know we are not alone in ha in a severe reaction. | F | 18 | 1 days 1X D | 8/16/2016 | 1 | Migraine | I had panic attacks and heart palpitations. | I was given this med for headaches. My heart rate shot up from 78 to 191. I thought i was having a heart attack. I could not yell out because i was too weak. So i started to pray. I felt stuck like it was never going to stop!!! The nurse had to give me adivan to calm me down. The nurse had to sit by my bed side to monitor my heart rate. It never went back to 78 it stayed in the 90's. This is the worst feeling ever id rather feel pain. Please take this med and get rid of it before it claims someones life. This happened 2 weeks ago and im still a nervous wreck! I feel better reading others experience and knowing im not the only one who has been through this! | F | 30 | 1 days | 8/16/2016 | 1 | Headache | Anxiety restless nervous uncomfortable it was given through a IV | F | 31 | 1 days Unsure | 8/12/2016 | 1 | Migraine | I was given this via IV and had the worst feeling I've ever experienced as a result. Almost immediately after given the IV, I felt extremely panicked. I felt like I couldn't breath (even though I could breath just fine). I also felt as though I could rip a car door off. I was given Benadryl to counteract the horrible side effects. | F | 29 | 1 days | 7/21/2016 | 1 | Migraine | I felt crazy. I felt like I needed to get out as soon as possible. I felt as if I made some terrible mistake. My heart was racing and I felt so jittery | This medicine needs to be taken off the shelves. It should never be given to anyone. I have suffered through my migraines every day for three months because I refuse to take compazine again | F | 17 | 1 days | 7/17/2016 | 1 | Nausea and vomiting | Ten minutes after getting an IV dose of this med, I felt like I was going nuts. My skin was crawling, I had very bad panic, and I was close to pulling my IV out and leaving the ER. This was absolutely the WORST physical feeling I have ever had...mind you, I've given birth and had multiple surgeries. Stay away! The benefits of the anti nausea effect don't outweigh the chance that this feeling will happen to you. I felt like I was dying. | F | 29 | 1 days | 6/30/2016 | 1 | Neasea | Well I was taking compazine because I kept vomitting after my wisdom teeth removal. Well turns out I'm in the 2% of people allergic to it. I had severe dystonia, my lip and jaw drooped, I looked like I was having a stroke. My teeth would not unclench and the worst was my neck muscles were out of control and I looked like I was the exorcist. Scariest experience of my life. I couldn't stop looking up. Thank god they gave me iv Benadryl and my neck finally went back to normal | F | 21 | 1 days | 6/29/2016 | 1 | Nausea from stomach flu | Jittery, anxious, angry, restless, muscle spasms, profuse sweating. I was given this garbage via IV for nausea in the emergency room due to me losing 10 pounds from vomiting/diarrhea from the stomach flu. After about 5 minutes I noticed that my legs wanted to kick and they began cramping. I started sweating and I wanted to start punching people and rip out my IV and start running as far away from the hospital as I can (even though I drove lol.) I started to calm down about 20 minutes later and when the nurse came back I asked her why I reacted like that and she said that it happens with some people. The doctor gave me a script of this crap (which I will never fill,) I'll just stick to Pepto Bismol. Avoid this medicine. | Don't ever take this shit. Ever. | M | 32 | 1 times | 6/19/2016 | 1 | As a part of migraine protocol | Restlessness, muscle aches, extreme discomfort, the feeling of wanting to "crawl out of my skin". | I received this drug as a part of migraine protocol IV cocktail (Benadryl/Compazine/Dexamethasone) in emergency room after experiencing 3-day long severe migraine bout. Immediately after the IV push I experienced the feeling of restlessness and muscle cramps similar in sensation to what happens during rising fever. It felt as if anything touching my skin was giving me the feeling of great discomfort and irritation (clothing, blanket). I realized that it might be a reaction to one of the medications in the cocktail but wanted to give them a chance to work anyway and did not alert the nurse. The cocktail worked in the sense that it broke my migraine but even 2 days later I'm still experiencing same side effects of restlessness and muscle cramps, although diminished. Just waiting for Compazine to leave my system at this point. | F | 43 | 1 days 10mg 1X D | 6/3/2016 | 1 | For a headache | Anxious,dizzy,weird,uncomfortable. I had in as the ER through an IV if felt horrible still feeling it the next day. | Worse drug ever | F | 27 | 1 days | 5/31/2016 | 1 | Headache | I was given this drug through an IV in the ER after complaining of a headache for three days. Within minutes of taking the IV I felt weird, dizzy, out of it. I went home and although my headache was gone I still felt dizzy and anxious. I had a panic attack and had to go back to the ER. They gave me an IV to try and flush my system. I went home. The next day I still felt dizzy and drowsy. I went to the doctor and they gave me a medicine to control the dizziness. They said the compazine would just have to run its course. This is day three and I'm still having trouble sleeping, dizziness, and anxious feelings. I'm hoping it wears off soon. | I would not recommend anyone taking this drug!!!! Stay away from it!!! | F | 27 | 1 days | 5/25/2016 | 1 | Migraine Headache | I became convinced that the ER staff was trying to kill me. I was completely out of my mind! I tried to use my phone to call my wife to tell her they were going to kill me but could not figure out how to use my iPhone. I got up and started ripping off leads and pulling out my IV. All I could manage to say over and over is "something is wrong!" When my wife got me home, I was terrified to go to sleep because I thought I would not wake up again. | I presented to the ER with complaints of confusion and severe headaches after having suffered a concussion a couple months prior. | M | 36 | 1 days 10mg | 5/8/2016 | 1 | Nausea/high b.p. in E.R. | Instant severe irritability, severe panic attack! literally felt like I was crawling out of my skin. They said some people get that reaction.It is not an allergy.Nobody told me this was an ati-psychotic they just happen to use for nausea geez. Was given Zofran and did fine. I will never let them inject another drug without looking up the drug. | This is a well known side effect of Compazine. Terrible drug for nausea,might work well for a different use,as intended. | M | 52 | 1 days 40 1X D | 5/3/2016 | 1 | Severe nausea | While it helped the nausea a bit, I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin! I took a 10 mg. pill about 90 minutes ago. I feel jittery, anxious, and I want to cry. Never taking this medication again. | F | 36 | 1 days 10 mg | 4/12/2016 | 1 | Migraine headaches given in E.R.... | Terrible! I thought I was losing my mind. When I got home from the er I couldn't sleep I had a series of panic attacks. I couldn't control my muscles and the doctor keep saying "well we can't give you anything else"! I wish | I could give the damn shot to her! | F | 40 | 1 days | 3/26/2016 | 1 | Migraines/Dizziness | Panic attack, more dizziness, passed out, jittery, wanted crawl out of my skin, drop in blood pressure. | I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY GIVE PEOPLE THIS MEDICATION! I was given this through an IV and it was a compazine cocktail. I started to rip out my IV out, I had an induced panic attack from this medication. So they gave me a sedative because I literally wanted to crawl out of skin, it is the worst feeling I have ever experienced! It is day 4 since I was given this medication and I am still jittery and I am still having panic attacks I was given a prescription for Valium to help with these feelings, it indescribable the way I feel. Now I refuse to go to a hospital ever again, I will only see my family care doctor. I do not wish this on my worst enemy! | M | 21 | 1 days 1X D | 3/22/2016 | 2 | For Crohns related nausea | Didn't notice any strong side effects other than dry- mouth. | This medication simply did not work for me to alleviate nausea. I tried taking compazine for (3) days with no relief. My doctor had me discontinue compazine & prescribed zofran which worked wonderfully. | F | 42 | 3 days 10 mg | 3/16/2016 | 1 | Dizziness - moderate vertigo | Increased dizziness, felt worse than before. Dry mouth, anxiety, tiredness/fatigue, just wanted to sleep, didn't want to do anything. Disturbed sleep, woke up in night and couldn't get back to sleep | Prescribed Stemitil - Prochlorperazine maleate 5mg three times a day for vertigo. Dipping and swaying feeling, not spinning sensation but feeling off balance, even sitting still. I woke up with it one morning. Doctor tested me for Epley maneuver but said it wasn't crystals inside ear canal. I suggested Stemitil because it worked for me 30 yrs ago when I had extreme dizziness and nausea from a damaged inner ear after a road traffic accident. Ive had dizzy spells come and go over the years from my ear damage. I haven't had dizziness for many years so I thought the tablets would help me like they used to, but now I am menopausal and my body has changed. I only took them for 3 days but the dizziness got much worse so on day 4 I stopped taking them. I felt anxiety, dry mouth, exausted, and more dizzy. After researching online I am now trying sublingual under tongue methylcobalamine vitamin B12 high dose but I need to try it for a few weeks to find out if this will help reduce my vertigo. | F | 56 | 3 days 5mg 3X D | 3/11/2016 | 1 | 6 day migraine | Went to chkd after going to a regular ER they gave me the migraine cocktail as soon as they injected the compazine into my IV my heart was pounding i was sweating I couldn't stop moving my legs i felt like i needed to rip my IV out and just run as far away as possible. After about 15 mins i calmed down but my body was still twitching uncontrollably and it's been about 4 days since i got the "cocktail" and I've been having very strange dreams and my vision has been all out of wack. | NEVER take this. | F | 16 | 1 days 10 mg | 3/5/2016 | 1 | Severe Migraine | I was given this drug via IV in the emergency room for a severe migraine. It was the absolute worst feeling in the world. I felt like I was going to die, and I wanted to rip my IV out and run straight home. I was exhausted but couldn't sleep because of the severe anxiety I was having. This medicine was not worth the fact that it got rid of the migraine | PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS | F | 16 | 1 days 1X D | 2/24/2016 | 1 | nausea | My husband was given IV Compazine for nausea. Almost immediately he became severely anxious, and his heart rate rapidly increased and he began sweating. He is not an anxious person and this was extremely out of character. He told me he felt like he was going to die and begged me to help him! He also had feelings of paranoia that he's never had before. The nurse gave him some Ativan to counteract the results and he was able to get calmed down slightly. However, now 2-3 weeks later he has been up several times in the night still experiencing the same side effects. He never experienced this prior to taking Compazine! DO NOT Take this medication! | M | 43 | 1 days 1X AN | 2/21/2016 | 1 | Stomach virus. (5 days) | While not being able to hold down any food for days,....my stomach started hurting very bad. I couldn't take the stomach pain anymore. Called mom to take me to the E.R. I know I lost 10 lbs that week, and shouldn't have waited THAT long! I was admitted & they gave me some phenegran thru I.V. My stomach was still hurting very bad,...it didn't help at all. They then gave me this horrid Benedryl/Compazine cocktail. The next thing I knew I felt like I was suddenly going to die. I wanted to rip my I.V. out right then and there. I thought about it, and didn't say anything to mom or the nurses,....but nothing but bad thoughts entered into my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about taking that I.V. out myself though. I'd never experienced anything even close to this before. I dealt with it on my own, was released from the hospital as it did eventually work, & the bag of I.V. fluids did help as well. .......was then dropped off at my house and continued thinking/feeling | M | 33 | ? 1X H | 2/1/2016 | 1 | Migraine and nausea | I was given a cocktail of benadryl then compazine and fluids due to a migraine I had for 2 weeks. At first I thought the crazy feeling was just me as I deal with anxiety anyway. In the next week I experienced random attacks of impending doom, like I was going to die. WORST feeling ever! I ended up back in the ER shortly after (still had migraine/nausea) and was given same cocktail. I wanted to rip out my iv and run. I knew then it was from the compezine. The only thing that kept me there was knowing I was getting a dose of valuim (which hardly helped the impending doom feeling) for my brain MRI. After reading these comments I regret not telling the nurse right away how I was feeling. Other than the impending doom I also felt trapped, like I was never going to leave that hospital room. I was so tired and wanted to sleep but felt like I would never wake up if I did. The "cocktail" did make me feel better temperaily but I can't say that it was worth it. I would rather stay puking my guts out with a pounding migraine then feel like that ever again! | I suggest you please tell your nurse or doctor right away if you have any negative symptoms of compazine! | F | 1 days | 1/9/2016 | 1 | Severe Migraine | Extreme anxiety for entire 48 hrs Panic attacks + shakiness Insomnia Difficulty breathing | Dear hospitals, PLEASE for the love of God STOP giving this POISON to your patients! I was given this garbage for a severe migraine and within seconds I was shaking like crazy and I had the worst anxiety of my life for 2 whole days. I couldn't even sleep it off because it was preventing me from sleeping and at one point I was even having trouble breathing. It didn't even work for the pain I was in, it only made me feel like I was going out of my mind. To make matters worse, the nurse gave it to me even when I asked her not to, and then told me to stop freaking out while I was having a panic attack. Always make sure that you ask your doctor or nurse what they are about to give you. Don't let yourself or your loved ones get injected with this panic poison!!! | F | 23 | 1 days 10 | 1/8/2016 | 1 | Concussion | I wouldn't wish this drug on my worst enemies. I've never been suicidal in my life before this. It's been over 72 hours since they shot me up with it in the ER, and I'm still not focusing the same. I'm listless in my desires, but man, I couldn't even sit still. I looked like I was crazy. The only thing that's helped is Klonopin. | F | 26 | 1 days 5mg/mlx100 1X D | 1/6/2016 | 1 | Nausea/vomiting | I was young, 12 or 13. Was given a shot in the buttocks at the ER. That was the most painful injection I have ever had in my life. 24 hours later I could not relax my stomach muscles and began feeling jittery like I had to run away. My mother took me to the clinic and while sitting in the waiting room my mouth turned into a grimace and my tongue protruded out, heart was racing. They rushed me to an exam room and while lying on the table my back arched to the point that the only thing touching the table was the top/back of my head and my heels. My tongue came out and curled down my chin. I remember the Doc coming in and ordering the nurse to get Benadryl shots stat! After the B shots(s) I was able to relax and felt better after a few days. | Prior to this reaction, I was very outgoing, loved to get up in front of the class to read my stories, do speeches or just clown around. Afterwords I was withdrawn, anxious and started suffering panic attacks. The rest of junior high and high school was hell! That was in the late 70's so you didn't talk about your fears. There are no panic disorders or any other type of mental illnesses running in my family so I just suffered for years until seeing a shrink and getting on some mild meds around 1999 or so. After reading all the experiences of others, I am convinced this drug affected a big part of my life. My anxiety was so severe it kept me from furthering my education. The good news is, it does get easier over time and I never ever had a desire to do drugs because after that reaction it took several years for anyone to even get me to swallow an aspirin. LOL! I noticed on some of the comments that people have a desire to correspond with others about their experience. I would be very interested in that myself and am leaving email address. I f this drug is still available, do not take it! | M | 53 | 1 times Unsure 1X O | 12/8/2015 |
