blaze22I was prescribed this medication 3 1/2 months ago by a psychiatrist in a hospital and since have been taking it with 3 other medications... It has been working and I can avoid just about all over the counter medications with it... my issue is this though, other than this one doctor who is almost 2 hours away I can not find any other physician who will prescribe the medication... It is upsetting and a little baffling to say the least because it is only 20 mg max a day and these physicians act like it is some form of opiate or what not and too, I can think of so many other drugs that are way stronger and don't understand what the problem is... even my own psychiatrist will not prescribe it for me... has anyone else run into these issues with this or any other drug that is considered to be a narcotic? Just wondering and what other avenues may I have to get around this issue?

Compazine is actually an anti-physcotic that is also used for nausea. Please read the facts below & you will understand why they do not want you to mix with other drugs you take.

I have read at lengths about what the medication is and what it is used for however this medication was approved with the medications that he too had put me on and told me that it should assist in the nausea and other side effects of the other drugs... The thing is is that I have not even seen any of these new doctor's yet but asking the nurses first on phone if they would have a problem with this specific medication and they said yes... they don't even know what I am on, but I guess, like you said maybe this could be the cause of their uneasiness with prescribing the drug... very unsettling...

Most new doctors will not prescribe until they see you. If I understand you correctly you haven't seen this doctor...

I had migrains for a long time went to the hospital 2 to 3 times a week, an old country doctor told me migrains are caused by tention and gave me Toradol injections to use at home it is an anti inflamitory so it shrinks the swelling and the migrain goes away its wonderful I seldom have to use it now no more migrains. also there is a medicine over the counter called Excedrin Tension I take if I start to get a headache, It is wonderful works very well. Dont make the mistake of buying Excedrin Migrain it does not work.
It is not a Narcotic :)

The other issue that I run into is having to be seen by an "attending" physician to continue use of the drug? Uh, I am not sure what the laws are or state of how often you have to be seen by any medical doctor while taking a narcotic or any form of drug which is considered to be "controlled substance" if you will... I have been trying to get in contact with the psychiatrist who prescribed the compazine but after 4 days no calls back... though very busy, he does work in a hospital/and or clinic... thanks for speedy response... what do you think?
Yeh it would depend where you live? I live in the UK and with most CD's you need to be seen every 3 months. Can you e-mail your psych? I understand that he may be busy but someone should get back to you!
