User Reviews for Phenergan

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 Light Sedation: I sleep great with this medication.

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.

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.

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: Worked great and helped me sleep too.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: My doctor gave me phenergan when for nausea when I was pregnant with my son. It was AMAZING. The only thing that helped later on in the pregnancy.

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.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Sedation: I have found this wonderful for helping me sleep after years of taking other sleeping pills. This has worked, thanks.

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.

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.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Motion Sickness: My husband and I have used dramamine in the past for motion sickness while on our fishing boat. 50 mg tablet will put us to sleep within 3 hrs after taking the pill. One time I could not drive home I was falling asleep at the wheel. I went home and could not keep my eyes open. This time during our cruise we saw a pharmacist on an island stop and she gave us Phenergan and told us to take 1 15 mins. before going on a fishing charter. The pills worked wonderfully! We were out in really rough waters on a 30 ft. fishing boat for 4 hrs. Did not even get queazy at all! We were not even tired upon our return either. As a matter of fact my husband said the pill made him hungry and he ate more. Phenergan is wonderful! Throw away the dramamine!

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I absolutely love this medication. I was sick often from chemo and this helped miracles. I also was having it for sleeping and when I took this I would fall asleep and with cancer you often just want to sleep and not be sick. This was great. I also had lots of morphine but decided I wanted this more then the morphine. So to me this was the better choice and I was in la la land but was my preferred drug and to this day I still ask for Phenergen.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: For uncontrolled nausea and vomiting that has been diagnosed as a migraine variant, the Phenergan suppository is the only medicine that works. It put me to sleep and and helps to greatly lessen the nausea. This medication works! Getting a physician to understand the diagnosis is not always easy.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Vertigo: I have Meniere's - Phenergan seemed to help for about 2 hours, followed by a urge to throw up, and a horrible headache... also had to unscrew the fluourescent bulbs above desk at work, just felt like a rollercoaster - I felt better when I was moving, but when I stopped I was still moving! ENT switched me to 1mg Ativan which worked (finally!), but it made me sleepy till I got used to it.

Phenergan (promethazine): Dialysis patient. Help put me to sleep.

Phenergan (promethazine) for Nausea/Vomiting: I went on a cruise, ate some bad food, ended up very sick, went to the doctor and got a shot. Within an hour, I was asleep in bed! Before that I had not slept all night. Absolutely a miracle drug!
