| 3 | GERD disease and Reflux vomitting | Unknown. | M | 66 | | 6/9/2002 | 5 | to prevent nausea after chemo | Slight constipation relieved by diet and senna | Wonderful. I received through my IV before chemo and then took five 8mg doses of dissolving tablets. I have had no nausea and no vomiting. I received a sample pack the first time I used it but paid for the second. W@ell worth it. | F | 64 | 6 weeks | 8/12/2005 | 1 | doctor give me in hospital stomach | Felt back of head burning so bad and couldn't pick arms up, with intense bone pain. Still have bone pain and headache two weeks after treatment. | M | 62 | 1 days iv | 11/7/2014 | 3 | Nauseau | If I take this early enough it takes the edge of nausea but does not eliminate it by any stretch of the imagination. Phenergan is so superior, but doctors are more reluctant to prescribe. | F | 58 | 8 mg 2X day | 6/27/2015 | 1 | Hep c tx viekira makes me nauseous | Severe HA one hour after first dose then jaw pain and feeling of anxiety and red face. My B/P which is usually 110/74 at most was 164/102 pulse 112 hard to breath. I was scared to death. | Haven't taken much medicine in my life (my Hep C came from blood transfusion ) But would never take this one again!!! | F | 58 | 1 days 4mg | 10/16/2015 | 2 | Nausea from medication | Headache, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, chills, numbness in fingers and lips, blurry vision | Works great for nausea, but the side effects aren't worth taking this medicine | F | 55 | 30 days 4 | 6/20/2020 | 1 | Nausea from pain med in E.R. | Horrible- headache, leg spasms that could not be controlled, dizziness, feeling of losing consciousness, entire body trembling, shortness of breath. Terror! Dose given I.V. in hospital. | F | 54 | 1 days 1X day | 2/14/2012 | 5 | Gastroparesis | Constipation. However so worth it. Often have to take 8 mg, but if taken at beginning of nausea, then that 8 mg lasts all day. Worth every penny. Pheregan works better for nausea, but I can not function at work on even a small dose of phenegan. | F | 53 | 8 months 4 | 12/27/2013 | 5 | chemo nausea | None. It is expensive, over 1000.00 for 21 pills. My insurance will only allow 21 pills per 90 days. I have 2 weeks on 1 week off of chemo for 18 weeks and 21 pill at 3x per day each time will not be enough. Of course I can always buy it myself (YIKES!) Good news the patent just ran out and there should be a generic available soon. Thank God! | It works quickly with no side effects and has a nice minty taste that helps with the queasy feeling from chemo. No drowsy feeling like phenegran. | F | 52 | 14 days | 12/1/2006 | 2 | nausea due to stomach virus4 | dizziness, skin tingling stomach pain, light headed, disoriented, muscle contractions, tremors | I have taken the SL in past with no problems. Felt that this was truly a great drug. When it works it is fantastic. I am not sure what happen this time. It was the oral tablets and not the sublingual and I am not sure if that makes a difference. | F | 52 | 2 days 4 mg 3X day | 11/16/2010 | 1 | nausea | severe constipation | I would only take this as a last resort. I'd rather take Phenergan or dramamine and be asleep than to be severely constipated. This is TMI (sorry), but after taking this for 2 to 3 days, I was severely constipated for a week or more with a giant ball of stool that could not be passed, consisting of many marble-sized balls of stool. Trust me, you don't want to go through what I went through. I have dealt with constipation from pain meds, surgery, etc., and nothing remotely compares to this extreme constipation. | F | 52 | 2 days 4 mg 2X day | 6/16/2015 | 5 | C. Diff | None. | This stuff is nothing short of miraculous! Severe nausea absolutely gone faster than I could ever have hoped for (a few minutes). | M | 51 | 1 days 4mg 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 5 | Surgery and with Flagyl | None. This drug has been a lifesaver for me. I wish they had it when I had morning sickness years ago. I use it for any surgery and when taking antibiotics that make you nauseas. | If you are sensitive to pain meds, take this with it and it helps. | F | 50 | 5 days | 4/4/2008 | 5 | Nausea from Stomach Bug | Constipation, a little tired | This drug is a life saver. I have had stomach flu bug every year for the past 3 years. Each time this drug keeps me from vomiting. I may still have some slight nausea but it is 10 times better after the pill. I would be dead without it as I would rather die than throw up. I take 200 mg of Magnesium (you can get it at any drugstore) and that combats the constipation. Other over the counter remedies for constipation don't work for me. | F | 49 | 1 days 8 mg | 11/16/2015 | 4 | Extreme Nausea | Headache, Constipation, Anxiety, I also felt tired and weak, but I am not sure if it is the medicaion or the virus that I have. | It works GREAt to relieve upset stomache and nausea, but I had a few side effects. | F | 47 | 1 weeks 4 MG 1X day | 7/11/2010 | 5 | Brain Aneurysm burst | Slight increase in headache on occasion. Other than that experienced no side effects. | This is the best anti-nausea medication on the market today! Due to my aneurysm all I have to do is turn my head, stand up, smell food or anything and I get extremely ill. If I vomit I end up in the hospital. I now take Zofran ODT for the nausea; within a couple minutes it is gone. No more hospitalization. Unfortunately my health care provider is no longer going to carry the ODT and I will have to use the swallow. Now I will have to wait for it to work like the Phenergan which does not, compazine which does not. This is a great medication. | F | 44 | 16 months | 12/2/2007 | 5 | SEVERE NAUSEA & INTESTINAL YUCK | THIS STUFF IS GREAT! I SET MY ALARM TO TAKE MY OND4, SNOOZE FOR 20, TAKE MY OTHER PILLS AND ASSURE ABSORBTION, WITHOUT WORRY OF REGURGITATION....'SHUDDERING!!!'...YOU CAN TRUST THIS STUFF! | 5 STAR RATING, I NO LONGER GREET THE MORNING PORCELAIN GODDESS FACE FIRST, THANK GOODNESS!!! PUBLIC AID WILL PAY FOR IT, BUT ONLY IN 5 DAY INCREMENTS. IT'S WELL WORTH THE WEEKLY TRIP TO YOUR DRUG DEALER, UH...PHARMACIST I MEANT...TEEHEEHEE...GOOD STUFF!!! * * * * * +++ | F | 43 | 1 years | 10/19/2007 | 2 | Nausea | For months I've been taking this both in the hospital and at home. Could never understand why my Christ hurt and my blood pressure and pulse would go up until I read the side effects. I've thrown up while on it so what's the point? | F | 43 | 6 months | 7/20/2016 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Nervousness, Panic attacks | Too pricey and did not help | F | 42 | 1 months | 11/27/2007 | 1 | Severe nausea & vomiting bug or flu | From reading other posts I guess I took it too late. It did nothing. It's been seven hours and I'm miserable. | F | 42 | 1 days 80mg | 5/28/2014 |
