| 1 | Vomiting | Intraventricular Hemmorage, Blood clots in brain, severe brain damage, coma. | My 2 year old son was prescribed Phenergan for vomiting. Soon after the first dose, my son fell into a coma. We rushed him to the ER and he was placed on life support. He remained in the hospital for 5 months. The damage was catastrophic. | M | 2 | 1 days | 8/15/2007 | 1 | Nausea | Hallucinations, heat throughout body, night mares, convulsions, tightness of chest, electric like shocks throughout body, confusion | being nauseous is better than the side effects of this medication. | F | 65 | 1 days | 7/3/2007 | 4 | Nausea/Vomiting | Feeling like I was from another planet | It does work, but I only take it when I have to. The suppositories are less sedating than the pills in my opinion. | F | 26 | 3 months | 6/7/2007 | 4 | nausea | started taking phenergan because of being weaned off another drug. took a whole tablet and knocked me on my butt. so now i take 1/2 tablet with my morning meds and i'm good to go! | F | 51 | | 6/4/2007 | 5 | hay fever, other bad allergies | slight dry mouth occasionally | I've noticed others commenting that their doses are too strong. TAKE THE LIQUID! The liquid (without codeine or VC) is only 6.25 mg. of product per teaspoon so you can adjust your dosage. I've taken this for almost 10 years. It costs practically nothing and I have never had any side effects that caused any concern at all. Don't know what I'd do if they quit making it because I've tried all the expensive stuff; all they do is dry me out and make me jittery. All this and it helps nausea too! | F | 53 | 10 years | 5/23/2007 | 5 | vomiting and nausea | Tired,and irritable | I love this product,I have alot of stomach problems,due to meds,or pain not to mention alot of migraines.And this takes care of it!!! | F | 27 | 5 years | 5/15/2007 | 4 | migraine/vomiting | sleepiness | great drug. I agree with the previous user, that Phenergen + Demerol for Migraine is an AMAZING solution. | F | 27 | 2 years | 5/9/2007 | 5 | Nausea from Migraine | Very tired | It's a wonder drug, I suffer from migraines and a shot of Phenergen with Demoral works wonders in just minutes. Well worth the good night's sleep. | F | 37 | 20 years | 4/21/2007 | 5 | nausea | extreme drowsiness, dry mouth | This drug has been a lifesaver for me. I initially started using it during my first pregnancy, 10 years ago. I was unable to eat or drink at all and the phenergan took the edge off the nausea enough so that I could start to eat and drink again. I took it again when I was pregnant 2 years ago and it didnt work as well, I ended up needing to take zofran. I only take it if I feel very nauseated and I also have to make sure that I am able to sleep because this drug KNOCKS ME OUT. Even just a quarter of a 25mg tablet will put me out for a good 6 -8 hours..if I need to take a half or whole tablet, I'm out for a day. And the day after I take it, I have what I call a "phenergan hangover"...just very tired, drained, lethargic. It does the job, though, so I give it a 4! | F | 35 | 10 years | 3/13/2007 | 1 | Nausea/Vomiting after Surgery | I am sure it was more than just the Phenergan but this seemed to be the icing on the cake for me. I was taking something like morphine after my back surgery and was given a nausea medicine to stop me from feeling ill. After getting sick, the nurse then gave me Phenergan. This drug knocked me out cold and I woke up to a bunch of emergency personnel and the nurse screaming in my face and shaking me to wake up in my hospital room. The doctor seems to think it was a cocktail of drugs that made me lose conciousness but that the Phenergan was also all it took to do that. It scared me half to death and I'd rather not ever take this medicine again. | After being knocked out cold I didnt feel sick anymore so I guess it did what it was supposed to, but not being able to wake up and having no memory of it was really scary. | F | 26 | 1 days | 2/19/2007 | 1 | post-operative nausea | Severe convulsions. | M | 49 | 1 days | 8/21/2006 | 1 | Gastroenteritis | Sleep driving | I took phenergan for gastroenteritis and ambien to sleep. Unfortunately it caused me to hallucinate a House vote at 3am! I drove my gas-guzzling Mustang with the headlights off and almost smashed into a Capitol Police officer, hitting a security barrier instead. Fortunately, my good buddies with Command gave me a ride home. | M | 38 | 43 days | 5/5/2006 | 1 | carsickness | I just read in the paper today that due to 8 deaths in children, children under the age of 2 should not take this drug. My son has been taking it since he was a year old. Just a warning. | M | 3 | 2 years | 4/26/2006 | 4 | Nausea reaction to other meds | Drowsiness. I may have had too strong a dose, becuase sometimes I felt like I would almost stop breathing during sleep which caused me to wake up repeatedly (and I don't usually have sleep apnea). | I was prescribed 25 mg tabs, and they are almost too strong for me. Doc told me I could cut them in half if needed. This worked well to combat nausea. If this is administered in iv form, it must be diluted or injected very slowly or it will burn and sting your veins. I still have soreness and bruises in my hand because of this - one week after. Otherwise a great drug, just be careful of dosage since it effects people differently. | F | 39 | 10 days | 3/18/2006 | 5 | Migraine Headaches | I have been using phenergan for years and the only side effects that I have experienced are dry mouth/throat & lethargic feeling. | Phenergan doesn't work for everyone, some people have to use a decreased dose. It works great for migraines, motion sickness, nausea & vomiting. | M | 15 years | 2/26/2006 | 1 | Nausea & vomiting | A general feeling of uneasiness. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. The left side of my body was shaking and I kept moving my left jaw in a yawning motion. Burning to the skin like I had a mild sunburn - mostly in the chest area. Also, burned at injection site. | I would ask for something else first. This drug can also be dangerous in the elderly. Make sure person injecting drug goes very slowly to prevent burning. | F | 34 | 3 times | 2/23/2006 | 5 | nausea, allergies | drowsiness | This drug is great. It was the only thing that got me through my first two trimesters of both pregnancies. It also helps with allergies/allergic reactions. Taking half or less of a tablet helps with the extreme drowsiness and still seems to be effective. The suppositories are very strong. | F | 29 | | 1/31/2006 | 5 | Nausea from headaches | Makes me sleepy, but I don't care. It works very well!! | If you have any problems with nausea, definately have your doctor prescribe this for you. I take it whenever I need it and it has never let me down. | F | 23 | | 7/11/2005 | 4 | Crohns Disease/ Nausea | Sleep. Increased effect of Morphine Sulfate. Wonderful relief from nausea. | Cheap. Also comes in suppository form, which is much more expensive, but sometimes no other alternative other than IV Zofran. | M | 33 | 3 years | 7/6/2005 | 5 | Severe nausea | This stuff is cheap and works VERY well. Especially great as a suppository. IT stops severe upset stomach! | Did I say it's cheap and it works. Everyone should have a few suppositories just in case you have sever stomach nausea. When you can't keep anything down, take one or two suppositories and it stops the convulsions and allows you to take in fluids. Normally only need to take for 24 to 48 hours at most. I've used only when necessary for years. Easily addicting so don't abuse this stuff. | M | 49 | 2 days | 5/26/2005 |
