| 1 | nausea and vomitting | I felt like i was losing my mind. would talk to myself, hit my head against the wall, almost threw myself out of a moveing car, and felt like hurting others. I was like that for a few weeks. It's also happened to my son when he was 4 yrs old, my brother, and just recently my mother. | I was told by a nurse that many people have had bad reactions with this medication but doctors still use it because it's the cheapest medication for nause and vomitting. I think the dr.'s should give themselves this medication and see if they will get the same reaction. what will they say then? | F | 33 | 1 days | 5/9/2009 | 1 | throwing up | hallusionations at one point my mother could not breath. it took 4 people to hold down a 98 lb. woman. one of the scarriest things I have ever seen. my mother went from not feeling well to this from this drug, she was given benadryl to conteract theese side affects. It' still to over 5 hours befor she was her self again. she banged her head off the wall, was fighting everyone, and bruised her arms something awful, she has a treak she was trying to rip that out. before a hospital gives this I think the side affects need to be told, cause all we got was " oh some people react like this, until I went on the internet I had no idea how many side affects this drug has. this is unreal that they are still using this drug first when there are so many for simpe nasea | F | 33 | 1 days | 4/30/2009 | 2 | Nausea | Hallucinations and convulsions | I was given this in the ER via IV. I began to have convulsions and also hallucinate, but the ER had to release me anyway because they needed the bed. My parents drove me home that night and I tried to open the car door on the highway on the way home. Thankfully, my sister was in the back with me and screamed and kept me from falling out of the vehicle | F | 30 | 1 days | 4/28/2009 | 5 | Migraine w/ nausea | Drowsiness, dry mouth | People should also start listing everything else they take along with each drug they rate! I take 50mg of lyrica at night, 60mg of cymbalta 2x a day and 200mg of celebrex at night. I use 10/325 hydrocodone/apap for migraines along with either 25 or 50mg of phenergan. I wouldn't dare take them all at the same time given that each of my drugs cause drowsiness but the phenergan and hydrocodone keep me out of the expensive ER. I would be broke if I didn't have these to help with the 10-15 a month migraines I have. Phenergan gets a 5 since I can live with the side effects. I see a lot of people leaving out their other meds information which can be very misleading and make others form a biased opinion of something that might actually help them. | | 2/28/2009 | 1 | Nausea | Stroke. Death. | 84 yo Mother was given Phenergan for nausea related to CHF and promptly stoked. She was dead 1 week later | M | 1 days | 2/20/2009 | 2 | For Nausea | This medicine made me unbearably sleepy - even the day after I took it. | This medication was quite debilitating for me as it made functioning normally almost impossible.

We did not think she was going to make it home without vomiting in the car. Within one hour of taking this medicine she was no longer nauseated and wanted to eat. Then she slept the whole way home. | F | 8 | 1 days | 10/17/2008 | 5 | nausea/vomiting | none | this did the trick for me, i was nauseous and vomiting from suboxone and i have also used this for gastroenteritis and was also on it during one of my pregnancies for severe "morning" sickness (which really lasted all day and night for the first 6 months of the pregnancy) and it worked great for all of them. | F | 30 | 90 days | 10/9/2008 | 2 | I was nauseated | Hallucinations, talking to myself, getting upset, confusion, twitches, memory loss, extreme tiredness, and dialated pupils, also blurred vision.. even the day after I took it. | F | 20 | 1 days | 10/8/2008 | 5 | extreme vomiting | hallucinations, extreme drowsiness, nightmares, dry mouth, hurts on injection site but goes away in a few minutes. | the best medication for nausea or vomiting. this drug has saved my life literally its stops vomitng very quickly esecially if used thru IV. with out the drug i would have become extreamly dehydrated due to vomiting which could have led to death. it makes me very groggy alowing me to sleep for several hours waking to no vomiting or nausea. the side effects are easily tolerable if administered correctly.......the good by far out weighs the bad (if administered to fast thru IV it WILL cause extreme!!! burning all thru arm that the iv is on)(trust me i had a agrivated nurse administer it once;they had to give me another shot for the extreme pain. my parents reported her and she got fired for it) make sure to tell the nurse to take her time(ask nicely) | M | 16 | 9 years | 8/4/2008 | 3 | Vomiting & nausea due to pregnancy | Drowsiness about an hour after taking the drug.

Works really fast and lasts for a long time. could not live without it. | M | 31 | 2 days | 5/27/2008 | 1 | chronic immune/skin disorder | I took it for six weeks. It was reasonably effective for what it was prescribed for, but at the same time I had terrible nightmares, too frightening to return to sleep. My heart felt like it was leaping out of my chest. Began to have paranoid thoughts, and developed a fear of going to sleep. ALl that vanished as soon as I stopped the phenergan. | Horrible horrible drug. Never again, not for anything. | F | 23 | 6 weeks | 4/22/2008 | 3 | vomiting in pregnancy | extremely sleepy, drowsy, no concentration. To impaired to drive | It did suppress the vomiting. but i still had a lot of nausea. Higher doses of drugs would only knock me out. I hated being a nauseous zombie | F | 37 | 14 days | 4/1/2008 | 5 | surgery | tired | Just had stomach surgery and very sick. Doctor gave me something else so I wouldn't get sick and didn't work..they waited all night before phenergan. Then I got a shot of this and it knocked it out right away.

Felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin for about 1/2 hour. Also my head ITCHED LIKE CRAZY for that same 1/2 hour. I must have looked like a jittery head-scratching lunatic. | But the whole time I was pacing in my hospital room and scratching my head.... I wasn't throwing up anymore. It worked on my nausea. | F | 48 | 1 times | 12/12/2007 | 4 | Severe nausea | Extreme somnolence - Knocks me out completely. | This is the best medication I have taken for severe nausea but the downside is that I cannot stay alert on it. I only take it when I know it will be safe to sleep for a long time. | F | 39 | 25 times | 11/7/2007 | 1 | nausea after surgery | After being injected in IV, I immediately began to see double, then had seizure and tongue kept trying to go down my throat. Blood pressure was 260 over 165, sweat profusely, almost lost consiousness. Later had hallucinations and nightmares along with depression. | Nothing would have better than taking this drug....NEVER AGAIN! | F | 60 | 1 days | 10/23/2007 |
