| 1 | Insomnia | A dreadful experience. Yes, I slept. But horrible nightmares (I rarely remember my dreams). The next day was hell. I could barely get out of bed. Felt so drowsy and spaced out all day - almost hallucinating. It wiped out a whole day. I'm amazed it can be bought over the counter. It's obviously a dangerous drug. | M | 63 | 1 days 25 mg 1X day | 2/20/2023 | 5 | Gastritis | I was vomiting due stomach issues. It made me sleepy. | I rather be sleepy than suffering from nausea and vomiting. | F | 34 | 0 days 12 1X day | 10/9/2022 | 1 | Nausea following surgery | Took it to prevent nausea after surgery. I thought it would also help me sleep- WRONG. It made me feel sleepy yet kept me wide awake. Such a horrible feeling to experience all night long. I tried it several weeks later for insomnia and experienced the same jittery wide awake effect. | F | 58 | 2 days 25 1X day | 5/8/2022 | 5 | CrohnsDisease | It makes you sedated/drowsy. The oral tablet is best. It will also enhance other medications such as pain medicine so be careful. I have received it in the Hospital through IV and I would advise caution here. It will blow out the IV shortly after getting it, and it burns. I always need another IV. I only get zofran now through IV in the hospital. The oral phenergen is fine. | M | 48 | 10 years 25mg 1X day | 11/3/2021 | 1 | Nausea | I got this as an IV injection due to severe vomiting, I started hallucinating within a half hour. I tried leaving the hospital and had to be properly sedated because I had such an adverse reaction. It was awful | F | 38 | 0 days Unknown 1X day | 10/19/2021 | 2 | Insomnia | Haven't helped with sleep so far. Taken for insomnia caused by anxiety. Last night was still awake at gone four. Next day I've noticed my anxiety has increased will feelings of nausea and nervousness all day | F | 57 | 3 days 25mg 1X day | 9/6/2021 | 1 | Insomnia | Made me extremely anxious, at one point I was in fetal position in a bathroom stall scratching my skin and crying because it made me itch so bad. I felt so out of it, I was nodding off every 10 minutes, couldn't concentrate, had dry mouth. After taking it for a while my vision and hearing became slowed/distorted? My short term memory was extremely bad, but hey! at least I could sleep! | F | 18 | 4 weeks 25 MG 1X day | 8/23/2021 | 3 | Morning sickness | Extreme drowsiness | Helps with the morning sickness but knocks me out for 6-8 hours after taking it. | F | 29 | 5 days 25mg 1X day | 7/15/2021 | 5 | Insomnia due to anxiety | Bit groggy | Helped me sleep | F | 31 | 5 days 25mg 1X day | 3/30/2021 | 5 | Allergies | Extreme drowsiness but okay cause i took it after work when i got home and at at bedtime. Ive also recieved this in the hospital for continuous emesis. I wasnt too crazy about an injection so i refused that, but not too happy about having a nurse shove suppositories up my butt either and that was after the dreaded rectal thermometer made its visit. | For allergies I received this medication in suppository form also described medically as PR (PER RECTUM). The plus side? Boyfriend gets to give them to me. | 28 | 90 days 25 mg 2X day | 3/9/2021 | 4 | Insomnia | Severe hangover, drowsiness, difficult to get out of bed. | This is a great drug but dosage is important. It said on the back of the box to take 1-2. I thought to myself 'it wouldn't be very sedating seeing as you can use it for allergies' - very big mistake. I was stupid enough to take two 25mg tablets on the first night. It stopped me waking up multiple times in the night which was great. However, it was extremely difficult to get out of bed the next morning, I felt relaxed and high. I also felt drowsy for the entire day after. In my opinion this should not be over the counter medicine. I am going to try taking just one tablet a night to see if it helps without giving side effects. Otherwise I will just ask my GP for something better. Be careful with this drug. | M | 19 | 1 days 50mg 1X day | 2/6/2021 | 4 | Nausea during pregnancy | Extreme tiredness, moodiness, skin tingling/feeling prickly | Phenergan is the only thing that really helps my nausea. It causes a lot of grogginess, topped with normal pregnancy fatigue and it is very hard to function. I need to lay down and nap around 3-4 times and day and go to bed around 8pm. It carries over into the next day. At times I will cry for no reason, nothing triggers it (usually 40 min after taking). I had it administered at the hospital by IV when I was extremely dehydrated, it must have been a high dose because it almost felt like I was messed up, as if I'd been given pain meds but I hadn't. | F | 25 | 6 weeks 25 MG 2X day | 12/24/2020 | 5 | Insomnia | Take one before bed regularly on bad days but not every night. When I have the opportunity to sleep well (childcare) I take 2 tablets and it works wonders! Not too groggy in the morning either but perhaps that's where I am used to taking them now. | F | 30 | 100 days 25mg 2X day | 10/28/2020 | 1 | Nausea | I take Vimpat and Acetezolemide for seizures. My neurologist prescribed this medication due to nausea associated with Migraines I have due to a TBI. My seizures had been well controlled but when I started this medication they became active, I became depressed and aggravated after taking for a week. | F | 56 | 7 days 25mg 1X day | 7/5/2020 | 3 | Depression | I feel like I'm not here very frightening | M | 51 | 0 days 25 mg | 6/27/2020 | 5 | Help sleep | Restless legs some nights only | No other side effects....Cetainly have helped me sleep .... | F | 71 | 8 months 25mg | 5/21/2020 | 4 | Insomnia | Extreme fatigue, heavy muscles, anxiety increases, loss of coordination, restlessness | Works like a charm for getting me to sleep through the night but the side effects the next day are something else. The fatigue I feel is like nothing else I've felt before, I have no energy to even lift my arms up, I try to sleep some more but can't as I feel anxious and restless. | F | 26 | 1 days 12.5 | 8/10/2019 | 4 | Insomnia | Took it to combat anxiety/insomnia side effects of antidepressants. Worked like a charm, slept quicker than I ever had, whole body felt heavy the next day though. Slept for a good 13 hours. | M | 16 | 2 days 25mg | 7/26/2019 | 3 | Insomnia | Took 2 hours to get in my system, once it hit me I was not able to concentrate properly it made my memory of past events seem to trigger at a much slower pace than within a normal time period, it was like visually hallucinating but with the memories of a few seconds like what you did in the before being brought to the present with flashing memories of these events almost like my mind was having shocks in a suprised state as these images reached me in the form of flashes. Also made my hyper and very angry before it actually kicked in, 50mg is way to high as a dose in my opinion this drug is no joke, occasionally cause randomised pain upper neck, and my stomach seemed to react oddly with bouts of emotion that I really do not get a lot in life so can't explain that, basically very emotional teared up at a very fast pace. The next day it caused all of that day absolutely tired, completely drained and exhausted, lasted overall 2 days from a single dose. | My advise would be to do this short term, everyone has a different reaction as you can tell by these comments alone, but if prescribed it start with half the dose I did just don't jump straight to the highest dose. | 35 | 1 days 50mg | 6/26/2019 | 2 | Severe vertigo | Body felt extremely heavy and like I didn't have complete control over body movements. | Went to the ER with severe vertigo. I was given Phenergan, never had it before, never will take it again. | F | 45 | 1 days Don't reme | 12/8/2018 |
