| 1 | went to ER with severe migraine | The ER doctor gave this to me and they released me. At home I started to feel like I wanted to kill myself. I felt like I wanted to go to the roof and jump off. I have never had any weird feelings like that before. EXTREMELY dangerous drug. | F | 48 | 1 days IV 1X day | 6/29/2011 | 1 | Migraine at the ER | This drug should be black boxed by the FDA. I went to ER with a 3 day long migraine and was given an IV with Compazine and Benadryl. I Immediately felt an extreme hot flash down my body from head to toe and then my legs started moving and I started shaking. My teeth were chattering, I was cold and hot and then felt an this intense anxiety wash over me in a wave that is almost inexpainable and horribly scarey. I was convinced I was going to die. I can describe it like a contraction you would have during labor, it started out slow and then got stronger and stronger and when it was at its peak, it was almost unbareable, my friend and my husband did their best to talk me through it and tell me I was not going to die. The nurse did not have a BP cuff on me and had left the room. My friend that was with me and is an EMT took my pulse and it was about 170 during the anxiety attack. She went to get the nurse who came in and said it was just the benadryl and would go away. After she left I had | I could bearly sit still on the way home. I still was having anxiety attacks and insisted my EMT friend keep telling me I wasn't going to die. I got home and took 1.0 more mg of Xanex that I had previously been given to use for my fear of flying.I am 4 days out and still talking .5 mg every 12 hrs or so. I am a nervous wreck and feel like I have PTSD. It was awful. I will never have an IV hooked up again if I can help it. I don't think the ER is a option for me. I would rather die at home than go through that experience again. I thought the moto was "Do no Harm" Guess it is not the moto Doctor's use anymore. It is more like "give whatever and to heck with the side effects". Damn the patients. Up with the Pharma companies. | F | 48 | 1 days 30MG 1X day | 6/28/2011 | 1 | migraine | I don't know how to describe how I felt when on this medicine. I was given compazine in my iv for a migraine. At first I just felt jittery, by the time I got home I was in a panic. My husband had to rush me back to the hospital because it made me want to kill myself. I was given a shot of anti anxiety meds and was also sedated. I was given Valium to take at home as needed. It's been 3 days and I am still having anxiety attacks. Have not taken the Valium today, trying to tough it out. Already had 2 attacks this morning. :$ | This is a horrible medicine!!! Wouldn't Wish it on anyone!!! | F | 23 | 5mg 1X day | 6/13/2011 | 1 | Miagrane | Holy , i would have given 10,000 away if i would have read this site before taking compazine. Along with the jittes, hot/cold, and paranoia, i couldnt breath normal therfore couldnt sleep. I am in 22 hours and thinking about taking more benadryl even thought they gave me that with it. I hope to God this doesnt last to much longer it sucks not breathing normal | M | 28 | 1 days 20mg 1X day | 5/21/2011 | 1 | Migraine | Very agitated, jittery and could not wait to get the IV out so I could go home | Was the 4th time to the er for a migraine in about 6 weeks and got compazine and reglan each time. I usually get dilaudid and phenergan but a new er quack refuses to give it to me and insists that compazine will work. My regular doctor is the one who told the er to give me dilaudid when I come in. The last time when they came in with compazine I refused it and told the nurse to stick it up the doctors tail. I walked out and had the migraine for 6 days and got it again 3 days later, but I will never go back for a shot again. | F | 53 | 1 times 10 mg 1X day | 5/11/2011 | 1 | nausea | I almost died taking Compazine. I stopped breathing and almost swallowed my tongue, my body went into contortions and I was hospitalized for over a week because of the drug. It is a very dangerous drug. | F | 49 | 7 days ? 1X day | 5/8/2011 | 1 | Headache, Nausea | about 6 minutes after it was put im my iv i got hot all over. I felt like crawling out of my own skin, i wanted to rip my iv out and run. My body felt so creep crawly i cant even explain.That was one of the worst panic attacks ive ever had in my life. I thought i was going to die that night, but i was afraid to say anything because i was afraid they would pump something else into my iv. I have never ever had an experience like that in my life and wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Now 4 days later and my body still feels weird. My head feels weird, spacy but almost heavy and my left arm and leg keeps going numb, almost a restless arm, leg thing going on now so that stupid medicine triggered my panic attacks which i hadnt had in years. I called them back to talk to the nurse and asked her to put it in my chart (i was to afraid to tell her that night) so i wont even be given that again and i will absolutly make sure no one in my family ever recieves it. Im a mess and dont know what t | Please Please make them stop giving that to anyone other than for the anti psychotic that its made for, and Please if anyone has any ideas how to feel better let | F | 35 | 1 times IDK 1X day | 4/20/2011 | 1 | Stomach virus | I went into a dystonic reaction,As soon as they gave me the compazine i went into a panic,unlike any way i have ever felt,i ripped my IV out of my arm and ran out the hospital and called my mom to pick me up she pulled up and i got in and at that point i was white as a ghost,My head was turned all the way to the left i felt it was going to break,my arm was stretched out i couldnt use it and my side started going in together. | WHEN I TOOK THIS DRUG,IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE THIS DRUG SHOULD BE ILLEGAL I WOULD NOT WISH IT UPON ANYBODY TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH!!! | F | 21 | 1 days ? 1X day | 4/18/2011 | 1 | Nausea | Felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin, and felt the intense urge to want to rip out my IV and leave the hospital. I was extremely ill and could barely eat/drink anything when I was admitted to the ER, but after being given this drug, it didn't matter. All I wanted to do was squirm around and scream and act like a crazy person. Luckily, the nurses knew what was happening and gave me Benadryl and the effects eventually wore off. | NEVER want to feel that way again. This drug needs to be taken off the market. This was the most terrifying experience and would never wish it on anyone. | F | 22 | 1X day | 4/15/2011 | 1 | Migraine headache | Horribly anxious. Completely lost touch of my senses and felt disabled. Most disastrous experience i have ever had in my life. I would rather die with a severe pain than go through that experience again. That medication made me crazy and did not help my symptom. It completely drove me crazy for few hours and my headache came back once the dose was washed out in my system. I drank plenty of water to get that poison out of my system. My health got worse ever since the ER clinic injected me "COMPAZINE". I no longer function the same way as i used to anymore. I am all shaky and dizzy all the time now. | I wouldn't even recommend it to my worse enemy. I hope and pray to god if there is one that no one should go through this experience. GET THAT POISON LIKE "COMPAZINE" OUT OF SHELF AND DESTROY ALL OF IT BEFORE IT DAMAGES PEOPLE'S HEALTH. | F | 34 | 50 mg 1X day | 3/29/2011 | 1 | Migrane | Anxiety panic fear restlessness | please someone tell me you return to normal. I was given this drug earlier this morning around 9 or 10 and it's almost 6pm. I have all the symptoms everyone says.. I feel like I am going nuts I can't sleep Nd that's all I want to do. Can't stop moving and extremely jittery. Does benedryl help? I wish I would could talk to one of you this is a nightmare!!!!!! | F | 24 | 1 days 1X day | 3/27/2011 | 1 | severe nausea | omgosh just got back from the hospital. I couldn't sit still I was so anxious, I tried to rip the iv out of my arm and I wanted to run, my husband was ZERO help as he thought I was being a baby, now I know I wasn't I thought the world was going to end or I was going to lose my mind. I was crazy acting. They ignored me and told my nurse I was acting crazy. I'm so upset and embarrassed and it was because of a drug. I think they should take that off the market. I'm calling the hospital today to tell them what happened and why I acted the way I did. That was ridiculous, I was so sick and to be given something that made you seem crazy and they didn't realize it is CRIMINAL!!!!!!! | DO NOT USE THIS DRUG UNDER ANY, ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. | F | 45 | 1 days ?? 1X day | 3/22/2011 | 1 | Migraine | Like many of the others, I was taken to the ER for migraine and given compazine. The doctors did tell me about the possible side effects but said they had never seen someone experience them. Once the IV was done, I felt this amazing need to get out of the hospital and have the IV out. My husband asked if this could be a side effect and I said no just so they wouldn't give me anything else. I was jittery and couldn't stop moving all night...fortunately, I am able to sleep, but I am on day 2 and sitll experiencing symptoms of restlessness and wanting to climb out of my skin though they aren't as bad as yesterday. Just took a benadryl to try and counteract the symptoms. I am praying this will work because I have to fly to Chicago later today. | F | 34 | 1 days Unk 1X AN | 3/18/2011 | 1 | Severe Migranes | Just like the rest of you I had the affects of paranoia and restlessness. But, I also got a kinda severe side affect. My jaw locked up and my tongue started feeling and doing weird things. They took forever to finally give me some benadryl to fix it. I had this happen twice because of the time it takes to leave your system (24 hours.) | Don't take this. I repeat, do not. I would never wish for someone to go through what I went through. | M | 15 | 1 days Don't know 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | Severe nausea &vomiting w/ migraine | This made me feel awful. I was given sone by IV in the ER and it was terrible. I felt more anxious than I ever have before (I'm diagnosed with an anxiety disorder so it says a lot), I was agitated, wanted to rip out my IV and run away. I couldn't sit still. At one point I had an urge to just shake my head just to MOVE, and it was so forceful glasses flew off my face. I wanted to end my life right then and there. The worse was th feeling of hopelessness at a level I'd never experienced before; I literally felt like things would never get better and it would never pass. While rationally I sort of knew it would, I couldn't help feeling like there was no hope and nothing to live for. If both my parents had not been there to calm me down, I know I would have harmed myself, which is not my normal behavior. It was awful. Even worse, it was brushed off, I was told it should have gone away after five minutes, and that it wasn't the medicine. They did not help me with side effects, or even belie | It was the single most traumatic exeperience of my life, and I say that as someone who, for her age, has gone through a lot of tough things. I would not recommend this to anyone. It seems more people have trouble with it than are helped by it, and there are better drugs to treat the things it's used to treat. The risks outweigh any possible benefit. I don't see how use of this drug is at all ethical and it should removed from the market entirely. No one should have to suffer like that when there are better ways. I wouldn't wish the horrible side effects it gave me on my worse enemy. I believe I will forever be afraid now to seek immediate medical attention again due to my experience with this drug. I can't trust ER docs and I don't want to risk ever feeling that again. I'd much rather die. | F | 17 | 1 days Unknown 1X O | 2/24/2011 | 1 | Migraine | I went to the ER with an unusually strong and horrible migraine today. They administered Compazine 5mg via IV and within about 5 minutes the fear was overwhelming. I feel like my experience has been literally copy+pasted as most of you sound just like me! It's crazy! I wanted to pull out my IV and the most disturbing effect was feeling as if I wasn't getting enough air. When I tried to take a deep breath I didn't feel the oxygen and felt like I was suffocating. I rang for the nurse on the call button and she never came. My chest felt like it was tightening and I felt like if I fell asleep I wouldn't wake up. I got very warm feeling and remembered thinking that maybe the excruciating migraine was better than this impending wave of fear. I wanted to scream, I wanted to jump up out of that ER bed and grab someone and scream at them to make this stop. I didn't, I just stayed in the bed and realized while I was contemplating these different scenarios in my mind I MUST have been breathing or | F | 26 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 1 | Used as anti nausea for migraine | F | 45 | ? 1X day | 2/21/2011 Patient History | 1 | Migraine/Nausea | Extreme anxiety, restlessness, and body shakes | I have regular migraines, that are so severe, I'll become nauseous. I went to the emergency room with a severe migraine and nausea. As the nurse was injecting the Compazine into my IV, she proceeded to tell me about the time she was given Compazine, and freaked out. She said after being given the medicine, she thought the world was gonna end and completely freaked out. She pulled the IV from her veins and was trying to rush to pick up her kids and save them, and she felt like she was going crazy. When she told me that, I was instantly pissed because it was too late to turn down the medicine. About 10-15 minutes later I felt so anxious and I couldn't sit still. I was going back and fourth through the ER, and couldn't sit still. I began to jump up and down, trying to release the pent up energy and anxiety. My arms and legs became shaky and I just felt the need to move and go. The feeling was so overwhelming and made me feel so crazy. The nurse said the side effects would go away in about 12 hrs. That was not true, the feelings of anxiety lessened, but still lasted for three days! I wanted to rest, but couldn't, I tried to sleep but my body was still alert and jumpy. This was in June of 2010, but to this day, I will experience small waves of inexplicable anxiety. I have NEVER had problems with feelings of anxiety of ANY kind in my life. These feelings can only be due to taking this medicine. PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS MEDICINE! I will never accept medicine without knowing the complete info | F | 23 | 1 days 1X day | 2/21/2011 | 1 | Yes | I was given compazine in conjunction with benadryl via IV in the ER as a treament for a migraine. Needless to say, I felt like I was a bout to lose it. I had an extreme sense of paranoia and I became very panicky. This was the first time that I have ever taken Compazine and needless to say, I will not be taking this drug again. | F | 30 | 1 times 1X AN | 2/13/2011 | 1 | Nausea | At the ER, I was given Compazine for nausea and discharged. By the time I got into my car, I felt hot all over and felt like I was being suffocated. I felt like I needed to get out of the car, but didn't know where to go. I had thoughts that life was pointless, I was all alone in the world, and I wanted to die. The total despair, paranoia, and sadness are nothing like I have felt in my entire life. I seriously thought about committing suicide for the first time in my life. I felt like I was being suffocated from the inside out and the anxiety was so EXTREMELY uncomfortable! Give me nausea x10 but I will NEVER take Compazine again! Once I got home, I took 3 Xanax which helped somewhat, but it really took about 8 hours to wear off. I really considered jumping out of a window! | M | 28 | 1 days IV 1X day | 2/12/2011 |
