| 5 | Nausea | This drug is my miracle pill. Ever since I had my gallbladder removed 7 yrs ago I've had severe nausea. It makes me tired and gives me dry mouth but I'll take that any day over feeling sick. | F | 34 | 7 days 25 | 2/21/2012 | 3 | Nausea | This caused Cervical Dystonia (a neurological condition). My neurologist said it could. Here is a list of drugs that can cause Dystonia: lifeinpain.org/node/3. | It also caused sleepiness. I like Zofran a lot better. Zofran didn't cause Cervical Dystonia either. | M | 49 | 7 days 25 mg. 1X day | 2/6/2012 | 5 | Insomnia, nausea, allergies | I find phenergan an extremely safe drug and useful for several conditions. Primarily taken at bedtime to allow relaxation and sleep. I took this every other night for years with minimal side effects, but it does produce poor quality, light sleep and nightmares, and a little weight gain. Since reducing to only a couple of nights a month, my sleep quality has improved and i no longer rely on it. No long term ill effects that im aware of. Experienced a little increased anxiety and moodiness, and obviously some difficulty getting to sleep at first, upon withdrawal. | F | 25 | 4 years 12.5-25mg | 1/23/2012 | 4 | seasickness | Drowsiness, flushing, nightmares | Prevented vomiting from seasickness, though it didn't entirely eliminate the nausea. The drowsiness wasn't actually a bad thing - sleep is the best cure for motion sickness, in my opinion. Felt like a zombie the next day, but that's much better than barfing. | M | 31 | 1 days 25 mg 1X day | 1/23/2012 | 1 | Pain with nausea | I have taking Phenergan for years off and on. I even had a zofran pump when I was pregnant with my son several years ago.. Recently I have been taking Phenergan a few times a day for a few weeks and I started having awful spells where my vision went crazy and I had right hand tremors-- it was very scary I wouldn't suggest anyone take this drug for long periods of time!! The neurologist said the tremors can last for up to 2 weeks. | F | 31 | 3 weeks 25mg | 1/22/2012 | 5 | Extreme Nausea/Dizziness | Immediately stops nausea and room spinning, instantly calm, able to drift off to sleep finally. | Almost always causes vivid bad dreams and sleep is a light sleep, almost restless. When I'm nauseous and the room is spinning, any sleep is very welcome. This is a lifesaver for me a LOT of the time! | F | 24 | 4 weeks 25 MG 1X AN | 1/17/2012 | 1 | Naseau | Didn't help at all | F | 21 | 1 days 1 every 4h | 1/14/2012 | 5 | To prevent nausea | Just made sleep, which was cool because I felt horrible. Hard to believe it's NOT a narcotic. I woke up feeling refreshed & my stomach was still settled. Be sure to sleep it off or you will feel groggy | F | 37 | 8 months 25 mg | 1/6/2012 | 5 | Nausea/Vomitting | I've taken this medication many times, and the only side effects I get from it is drowsiness, which is a good thing for me, I'd rather sleep, than be up all night sick! Good drug for many reasons! Also helps my nervous stomach as well because it calms my anxiety down a bit! | F | 26 | 10 months 25mg PO | 12/26/2011 | 3 | Itchiness/allergies | Really bad nightmares but itching stopped. | F | 28 | 3 days | 12/7/2011 | 5 | nausea | extreme sleepiness | when i get a shot of this, i have someone drive, as i will fall asleep after about 3 miles and wake and fall asleep again | F | 46 | 25 1X day | 12/4/2011 | 3 | Allergies, tinnitus | The next day I cant wake up and feel bombed.Also my concentration is cloudy I felt nervousness as well if I take it more then 2 nights and then cannot get to sleep when I dont take it. | It is ok for allergies but dont like the next day effects it has on me.Did nothing to help tinnitus | F | 46 | 3 days 10mg 1X day | 11/30/2011 | 1 | Sedative + Itchy | Extremely drowsy but unable to sleep due to RESTLESS HANDS - was hell! Was exhausted and groggy next day. | I've experienced the restless hands before (and had forgotten) and wouldn't rather be itchy and awake than drowsy, twitchy and unable to sleep. | F | 29 | 1 times 75MG 1X day | 11/30/2011 | 3 | morning sickness | at first it helped greatly to stop my nausea. but now that I've been taking in for a while it barely helps. when I take this pill, I sleep for around 3-7 hours. it makes me exhausted. | F | 17 | 4 weeks 25 MG | 11/24/2011 | 5 | Allergies,Nausea,Anxiety,Insomnia. | Drowsiness and a hangover feeling the next day at first.Can cause upset stomach,so best taken with food.Body becomes tolerant after awhile.Can become addictive so best not to take for long amounts of time.Helped me a lot. | F | 30 | 3 months 50mg p.n | 11/20/2011 | 4 | nausea/vomiting due to migraine | Drowsiness, extreme at first with some hangover effect (but not unbearable "Remeron" like, least for me). I've grown tolerant to the sedative effects, after about 3 months continuous usage (not daily, but 3-4x weekly). | Works AWESOMELY for my nausea/vomiting, but only certain types. Flu-like nausea, airsickness, and food-related nausea respond well to Phenergan for me. However, I get weird vertigo/nausea/vomiting (from reading, or sometimes just randomly). Phenergan doesn't touch that (only good weed does). | F | 28 | 7 years 25mg 1X AN | 11/15/2011 | 5 | nausea | DROWSINESS, BUT GREAT WHEN YOU JUST WANT TO"PUKE"! SLIGHT DROWSY HANGOVER NEXT DAY. | PILLS ARE GREAT WHEN NOT VOMITING, OTHERWISE TAKE SUPPOSITORY. IF NECESSARY WHEN WORKING, CUT IN HALF TO FINISH JOB. TO ME, A GODSEND. ALLERGIC TO COMPAZINE, ENDED UP IN ER. | F | 54 | 10 years 25mg 1X day | 6/16/2011 | 1 | nausea associated with pregnancy | jittery, uncontrolled hand and arm movements, drowsiness with an inability to go to sleep. Felt like I was withdrawing from a drug or something, or at least that was what my family said I looked liked. | I will never take this again. I would rather vomit than feel out of control like that. | F | 31 | 1 times 25mg 6X H | 6/14/2011 | 3 | nausea | Nightmares, hallucinations, tremors, extreme fatigue | Phenergan, at first, seemed like it would be the miracle drug I've been looking for. I am prone to anxiety with nausea as a result, especially in airplanes. I figured that I would save some of this medicine for when I travel but there is NO WAY I will even consider it. I took it last week for some nausea (relating to flu). The first 6 hours were fine (I slept through 4 of them), but afterward I felt very jittery - my fists clenched by themselves at one point. I fell asleep and then woke up only to find I was actually still dreaming. I experienced sleep paralysis (lucid dreams, too, but not the good kind) which was terrifying. The next day I was SO TIRED even though I'd just had 8 hours sleep. I will never take it again unless I can't stop vomiting and there is no choice. It DID help with the nausea, but the rest was just...yuck! | F | 27 | 2 days 3X day | 5/19/2011 | 4 | severe pregnancy nausea and vomiting | Very sleepy, strange dreams | I have to say, I appreciate this medication. I suffered severe nausea and vomiting from my pregnancy and was on the verge of being admitted to Tue hospital for dehydration and malnutrition. For me, the benefits outweigh the risks. | F | 30 | 4 months 25 mg 2X day | 4/19/2011 |
