For Light Sedation "This was prescribed for my anxiety, and it slightly lessens it but hugely increases depression and tiredness (I also have hypersomnia, so tired at the best of times). It makes me feel so flat that I can't really move or think clearly, exhausted but can't sleep, and everything tastes like cardboard, and I'm still fairly anxious anyway. I won't be taking this again."

For Hiccups "Had hiccups for 4 days. Before I took this drug, I was hiccuping every 4 seconds. That's how bad they got. My doctor was closed, so I had to go to A&E. Took 1.25 mg and 10 minutes later no hiccups. Took the whole lot, 25 mg, 3 a day for 5 days. They work. Don't drink beer, I got very tired and dizzy when I did have a few pints."

Chlorpromazine for Hiccups "My daughter had the hiccups for almost 3 weeks. Tried all the various meds that did nothing but make her tired and sick. Acupuncture stopped them immediately. Please stop listening to the doctors, they want the money. She is hiccup-free for almost 24 hours!"
