Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was born with chronic pancreatitis and chronic migraines so vomiting is a for sure thing every time I visit the ER. I have never in my life been traumatized by a medication until this encounter. It is like we are their lab rats, you feel helpless, insane, delusional, 51-50, a psychopath. You literally feel trapped inside your body if that makes any sense. I try to hold my composure off this medication because it literally makes you crazy. It should be illegal for them to give inject you with it without a warning on the side effects. You feel so weird for 3 days, it’s as if your innocence has been robbed from you, a form of violation."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Was prescribed this for ongoing condition of vertigo to help with the nausea. I took two pills and it gave me the worst anxiety I have ever experienced. It felt like I wasn’t even in my own body, I lost my appetite for about a week, my heart rate was through the roof and it was a struggle to breath properly. I’m only 20 years old and it took me a good month to recover fully from this drug. Whilst my vertigo had gone the next day, the side effects were so much worse than the original problem."

For Anxiety "I received this medication over the counter at my local chemist for severe nausea, dizziness and headache. It worked within 30 minutes to alleviate the nausea completely and the headache is subsiding. I also have severe anxiety - the side effect of drowsiness has occurred but has helped calm me down a lot so I can rest and the dizziness is no longer noticeable so I see that as a bonus."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "This was, like many others on here have said, a terrifying ER experience. I was given Compazine for what they thought was a migraine, plus benadryl because they warned me about the anxiety. Upon giving it to me via IV, I felt a wave of panic enter my body. My heart stopped for a moment. I immediately wanted to get out of the hospital and tried to rip my IV out. I thought that would be the end of it. But it wasn't. I had crippling anxiety over the next 5 days! Yes, FIVE days. I had constant panic attacks where I would have to stop driving and pull over. One time I almost fainted during a meeting and had to go to the clinic. This drug made me dizzy, lightheaded, feeling like I was going to pass out all the time, gave me the strangest head pressure/tingling feeling, heart-racing constantly. I will never ever take this drug again. Worst experience."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "It is absolutely horrible I went into the ER yesterday with a bad headache on one side they wanted to give me some cocktail with included compazine and Benadryl combined I said no, I should have done my research on compazine prior to getting it intravenously the worst mistake of my life I had shakes anxiety which I don't have the worst dry mouth of my life that I almost choked on my sugar pill I felt like it had been out in the desert for a year I could not keep my mouth moist fast enough. It has been almost 24 hours and I'm still not back to 100 percent yet. That drug is toxic I would never I don't care how much pain I'm in ever take that drug."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Psychosis "After having had to take steroids for severe asthma all of my life I have been dealing with a very horrible side effects of psychosis on steroids. Unfortunately there are many people in the medical field he still do not know how to deal with that. I have learned to ask for Compazine and have been able to take small amounts to get back to a straight playing with my mental health and survive the hospitalization and the several weeks afterwards when I'm having to cut down the prednisones back to nothing. It has saved my life and has probably saved a few hospitalizations because a lot of people don't know how to deal with someone who says high doses of Cortizone make me psychotic. My long-term doctors know it but short term hospitalization Compazine saves me from all sorts of other issues that could come up that I've already dealt with in the last 64 years."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was in the ER due to a severe migraine that couldn’t be controlled with my prescriptions that I usually take. They gave me Compazine for the nausea/vomiting. It was the most awful thing ever. I became so restless. I felt like I had to leave and go home. I couldn’t sit still, and I felt like I constantly needed to pace the room. I felt like I was going crazy, and like I was about to rip my hair out. (I didn’t.) I will avoid this medicine at all costs. I don’t even know if it helped the nausea/vomiting because it made me feel so weird."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I suffered with Meniere’s and was given this medication prochlorperazine via my GP. Whilst on the medication I was fine. The problems began as soon as I stopped! I developed SEVERE anxiety and horrific panic attacks. Prior to taking prochlorperazine I never had panic attacks. The panic attacks would sometimes last from evening all throughout the night until morning. I’d never known such feelings of terror, dread, fear etc. I still suffer with mild anxiety and it’s been more than a year since cessation. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I suffer from occasional vomiting from acid indigestion brought on by major anxiety. I take Protonix daily for indigestion & also Buspar for anxiety which has helped drastically. However sometimes the anxiety is so extreme I will still get nausea & vomiting. That's when I go to my trusted friend Compazine. It lasts well past 8 hours & gives me time to relax & calm my anxiety (which is near to impossible to do while you are throwing up stomach acid every few minutes%u2026). I have also been prescribed Zofran which also works very well, but is a lot more expensive. I have not experienced any side effects with either medicine. Compazine has saved me more than a few times when I have an appointment I can't afford to miss & that I am anxious over."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I took this for my extreme amount of nausea causing anxiety. It did wonders for my nausea! It was wonderful and like a miracle. Until the 3rd time I took it... I had the worst experience of my life. My jaw got locked and stuck to one side, my eyes got locked looking upwards and I couldn't move them, my jaw felt as if it was trying to break itself and was so painful . I ended up sticking my finger down my throat to make myself vomit up the drug. It continued to lock my jaw up off and on for the next 48 hours. Never again. Be careful of the side effects. Worked wonders for my nausea and vomiting, but I would rather be throwing up than experiences those side effects"

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I am nine weeks pregnant and I went into the hospital last night with severe nausea and vomiting I hadn’t eaten anything for almost 3 days and was down 5 pounds. I was having a migraine from dehydration and they gave me IV Compazine and within four minutes I was feeling like I wanted step out of my own body, I had severe anxiety I felt like I wanted to rip out my IV and run home as fast as I could. I had this overwhelming sense of being so unbelievably uncomfortable that I couldn’t close my eyes because I was so panicky and so shaky so uncomfortable I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I will absolutely never take this medication again it’s been almost 24 hours since that medication was given to me and I’m just now starting to feel back to my old self again needless to say I’m on Zofran now for my nausea and you couldn’t pay me to take Compazine again ."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Psychosis "First and LAST time I ever received IV compazine, within minutes of hitting my veins I was severely anxious, like and acute psychosis. I jumped up from the bed, and said "I gotta get out of here, I gotta go". My husband was like "what the hell did they just put in your IV". He called the RN in, and he gave me IV benadryl which did not help me. For the next 3 DAYS, I was out of my mind, could not function, and honestly was scared to be alone for fear I may have hurt myself! My husband stayed home to care for me and make sure I did not hurt myself or take off running. Oral benadryl and oral ativan--NOTHING took the feeling away. Absolutely awful!! I have never in my life had feeling of hurting myself, or dealt with any mental health issues, it was COMPLETELY terrifying!! I don't understand why this medication is still on the market honestly!!"

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was given this for migraines. I was stationed in Hampton Roads, VA doing my time in the Navy. I had a TBI in Bahrain, and was sent to Virginia for various medical treatments. I had blackouts and severe migraines that made me see spots at least 3-5 times a week. It was pure hell so I thought. I would try to tolerate it the best I could, and I began frequenting the hospital where I received this drug. It took some time to figure out which drug I was having the horrendous side effects. Portsmouth Naval issued me a "cocktail" as they called it with this drug included. Over a few experiences with various doctors I figured out this drug was the culprit. This drug made me feel like something terrible was crawling under my skin. 6 hours of hell."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have cancer and have been going through chemotherapy. I was prescribed prochlorperazine to reduce the nausea related to the chemotherapy. For this purpose, the drug did work. I would become less nauseous after taking it. This drug did come with a hefty list of side effects. It gave me chest pains like heartburn and a feeling of anxiety. It reduced my feeling in my face to the point where it felt like I was wearing a mask. I also had a hard time falling asleep, and when I was asleep, I had very vivid, crazy nightmares."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I went to the ER for stomach pains and nausea. I am allergic to so many pain medicines that there is little I can take. They gave me compazine and as they put it in my iv they told me it could cause severe anxiety in some people. Well I can tell you now, it was horrific. I have had one major panic attack in my life and this was 20 times worse. I started pulling off my clothes and ripped the iv out. They had to give me a big dose of Benedryl to "reverse" the effects. Please please think twice and consider other choices before taking this!"

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was given compazine through the IV for nausea and vomiting while admitted. It was an absolute nightmare that still makes me feel pure fear when I think about it. I thought I was going to die. At first, my legs just felt restless which I thought I was just having some anxiety, but then it really hit. I couldn't get my body to cool down, I started vomiting, then lost control of my bowels in front of the nurses. This lasted over six hours until they finally gave me something that knocked me out until it was over. I thought I was going to die. It scared both my partner who was there and myself to the point that I am now scared to take anymore medications fearing a similar reaction. They should really warn people about this drug."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "This medication does help out a lot when you have nausea. I have taken a lot of different medications before and this is the first one in seven years that has actually worked for me. The only side effect that I get from it is being tired after taking it but it is so much better then being sick to my stomach."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "Worse experience ever. I had been experiencing morning sickness and vomiting while pregnant and had gone to the ER . I had been given compazine through an IV along with some fluids. Within a short amount of time I felt awful, a tremendous amount of anxiety came over me where I could not relax or even think to the point of functioning. Felt like jumping out of my body. There must be some legal consequences and responsibility behind this medication and what it has caused. No one should have to go through this nor do I think it’s safe for anyone, especially while pregnant ."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was suffering from unexplained nausea for about a year. I tried a host of other anti-nausea medications but nothing really seemed to be helping. My doctor gave my compazine, which helped my nausea but made me exhausted by the evening and caused me to burst into tears at least once a day. I stopped taking the medication because the side effects were too much for me to handle."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "Was given compazine for the first time in the ER. It was mixed in a cocktail for my headache.

I ripped my IV out of my arm and started kicking the walls and stomping , they thought I was insane! I told them it was the medicine , they didn’t do anything just released me and I felt like my skin was crawling for 3 days. Was the absolute worst experience of my whole life !"

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "Do NOT use compazine!! I went to the ER for a severe migraine that lasted a week. They put me on Compazine and within just a few minutes I was shaking uncontrollably, couldn’t keep still, and had extreme anxiety like if I didn’t leave the hospital RIGHT AWAY my entire life would just go down the toilet. This was the only time I ever ripped out an IV. I called the nurse in and I could only mumble “oh god what did you do to me” over and over again. After some of these other reviews, I count myself lucky that my symptoms only lasted a single night and the migraine did go away. But still I will never take it again!"

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I have been given Compazine in my IV and it was one of the most horrible experiences in my life!

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "Reading the effects some folks have had brings me right back to 1993. I was 2 months pregnant with my son, who is now 23. I was vomiting so badly and was given compazine as a suppository. It worked wonders for the first 2 days. My 3rd day was a trip to HELL! I was on the phone with my mom and my words started slurring. I then started having uncontrollable muscle spasms in my face. My upper and lower jaw started moving in opposite directions so severely that I had to hold my face in place screaming in pain! My husband had to rush me to the ER in the middle of a snow storm. It was a horrific experience and I can not believe that this drug still exists! I was told that compazine is used as a component in other drugs, BEWARE!"

Compazine (prochlorperazine) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was talking to my sister about my bad reaction to a medication I took 15 years ago called Compazine. I took this prescribed medicine while at home. I remember my experience like it was yesterday. At first I felt a twitching in my jaws. All at once, my bottom jaw started going to the right, and my top jaw started going to the left. I could not stop it and I could not talk. In fact, my jaw felt like it was trying to break off my face. I remember the emotional and physical pain. Me and my husband were both crying, because we both didn't understand what was happening! My husband ended up taking me to another clinic, and they admitted me at once. So BEWARE! Just from talking - I found out this same medication hurt my sister just last year."
