Phenergan (promethazine) for Sedation: I've used Phenergan, which is sold over the counter, as a sleeping aid for about one year now. Taken one hour before bedtime, it rarely fails to put me to sleep. The wondrous thing is that I have kept the same dose, and there are no withdrawal symptoms, if you stop using the drug for a week or two. Definitely the best substitute for any prescription sleep aid, that I've ever tried. Highly recommended as a sleep aid.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Sedation: This medicine helped sedate me when I was having back pain. I had two herniated discs and it calmed me down before and after the surgeries. It is not habit forming and was a plus with all the other medicines I was on.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: This is the only anti-nausea drug that has ever worked for me following surgery or a medical procedure. No matter how mild the sedation I always ended up vomiting. Now I'm a believer. I can come out of surgery and go home and sleep (yes, it does make you sleep), and not spend hours vomiting.

promethazine for Nausea/Vomiting: I have had lot of surgeries and I take a lot of medication. When it comes to taking something for an upset stomach I have found that Phenergan is the best. Immediatly after taken Phenergan I no longer fill nausea.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: Phenergan has been a life saver. I am a little over 5 months pregnant and have not been able to enjoy a meal for at least the last 3-4 months. I went to the doctor and she tried me on phenergan and it has truly been a blessing. I can eat and not be scared that I'll vomit. It does make me a sleepy if I take the entire pill, but if I just take half I can eat at work, during the day. At home I take the whole thing and sleep like a baby. My only negative is there is really no information about how it affects an unborn child. A couple of my friends have taken it and they have healthy happy kids. I'll be praying for the same result.

promethazine for Nausea/Vomiting: I was taking this because I have nausea from my flu... It's actually quite helpful. I can't vomit. lol. Although, it really does make you more sensitive to the sun and extremely sleepy. I suggest you take an extra day off from work or school so you know the effects.

promethazine for Nausea/Vomiting: Promethazine quickly relieved my upset stomach/nausea due to other medicines (I think, who knows, maybe it was a bad meal or lack of nutrients in my body) I love to have this medication in my cupboard if ever my stomach acts up, or if I have an allergic reaction to something. A full dose makes me very relaxed and I generally take a nap. A half a dose just gets rid of the ailment and I can still function in my day. I love this little "cure"!

promethazine for Nausea/Vomiting: I absolutely live by Promethazine. I keep it on hand when I'm nauseated. It's such a versatile medication. It sedates you but not in the way that benzodiazapines or narcotics do. Lastly, whenever I go out drinking, I take this at the end of the night along side a bottle or 2 of water..I wake up the next day not hungover or nauseated! It's a fabulous hangover "cure"!! ;)

Phenergan (promethazine) for Opiate Adjunct: I am approximately 65 years old. Post surgery I was prescribed Oxycodone and Phenergan, and after 18 hours speech became slurred, unable to form words or express myself accurately. Turns out my youngest daughter had a similar reaction to the same drug during appendicitis crisis.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I had a very serious vomiting problem with my first pregnancy. I had to be hospitalized and then put on an IV at home for fluids. When I was about two months pregnant with my second child I was given promethazine, and it was the only thing that kept me from the same issues as the first pregnancy. I was still sick everyday, and I was still vomiting sporadically. However, I was able to actually eat and drink and gain weight. My son was born fine. Now I am pregnant with my third and have started on it earlier than the second pregnancy. I was not aware that the effects of the drug on unborn children is unknown. My doctor had told me it was safe. Hopefully this next baby will be fine as well.

promethazine for Nausea/Vomiting: This is a good product since it also comes as a suppository. The last thing I want in my stomach when it is nauseous is more medication.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Vertigo: Decent drug for nausea, but did not cure my vertigo, only the nauseated feeling you get from vertigo.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Sedation: Although I have fairly high blood pressure - for which I take medication, and use asthma inhalers to prevent asthma, I have found Phenergan to be absolutely marvelous for insomnia - I have an overactive mind! I find it's best to take it about four hours before I go to bed - then it knocks me out for the night. Sometimes I still feel a bit drowsy in the mornings and have discovered I only need the lowest dose to get a good night's sleep. I only take it the night following a sleepless night. Hope this is helpful.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I've had this prescribed for surgical procedures, with migraine medications and when I take opioids because they cause swelling and intense itching. THIS IS GREAT. It ends vomiting, suppresses nausea, eliminates swelling and itching. The generic is very inexpensive and works quickly. The drowsiness side effect is unlike most drugs with this caution; I can wake quickly and think clearly, no "drugged" or heavy, fogged thinking.

promethazine for Nausea/Vomiting: I am extremely ill with a multitude of symptoms. I visited my doctor and found out I am infected with 2 viruses. My doctor perscribed promethazine and it has made a world of difference. I am now able to sleep, eat (without vomiting), and it has even relieved most of my muscle aching and allergy symptoms. I would definitely rate this medicine as a 10.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Light Sedation: I suffered a reaction to this product. I bought it for help with sleeping and I was unable to sit or lie down for the restless nerve endings that lasted all night and most of the following day.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Motion Sickness: Phenergan seems to prevent some motion sickness with fewer side effects (but slightly less effectiveness) than Transderm-Scop. The primary side effect of Phenergan is some drowsiness, which is dose-related.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: In preparation for a colonoscopy I was given this medicine case I became nauseated. I took 1 tablet as I was feeling a bit nauseous after taking the "cleansing" drug prescribed by my Doctor and within 15 minutes the nausea subsided. Then I fell asleep for several hours. Does what it is supposed to.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: Phenergan is an excellent medication for sleep and nausea. It also helps with pain associated with headaches. Phenergan allows your stomach to feel much better and your pain to slightly subside. It's a good night's rest guaranteed. Phenergan had absolutely no side effects, aside from sedative effects...which were welcomed after I had been so ill with nausea and vomiting. A Take it, feel better, and get back to life.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I suffered from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome; similar to an abdominal migraine. Gastroenterologist prescribed Phenergan suppositories as a prophylaxis. It prevented the onset of the nausea and vomiting. Just knowing it is it my refrigerator should I need it has stopped the cycle.
