"I had unexplained sickness, where I had unbelievable stomach pains. Drs weren't sure what was wrong, but they gave me cyclizine to help. I felt awful, was totally manic, flushed, and my heartbeat was very rapid. Turns out I am allergic to it. Terrifying experience, but luckily I was given another drug to counteract the symptoms. Was lucky I was in the hospital when I took this."

"I have taken this drug before, and it works within an hour. It helps me eat because I usually feel nauseous and dizzy before a UTI. I only take it until my symptoms improve. However, I would say that it makes you a bit sleepy and stops nausea and dizziness, so I'm quite happy to take it."

"I took these for nausea associated with endometriosis, but very quickly realized they made me feel high and also worked as a sleeping pill. I’m not addicted to it, but my boyfriend passed on a month ago, and now I just take it to sleep because nothing else works, and unlike antidepressants, there are no withdrawal symptoms if I want to stop. Also, I can buy it over the counter here in SA."

"My daughter took this to take alongside iron tablets as she was anemic. She was on this tablet for 3 months, twice a day. One night, she was rushed to the hospital with stroke-like symptoms, paralysis on the left side of her body. The doctors at present have put it down to functional neurological disorder (FND). However, reading up on this drug and all the side effects, I’m pretty sure this had something to do with it. This drug sends signals to the brain to stop you from feeling sick. She now is still struggling to walk because the signals from the brain to the nervous system have been affected. I have been reading that when some people have had an intravenous version of this drug, it’s instant paralysis in some cases. Just be very, very careful with this drug."

"Cyclizine is the only one that helps me not vomit. I've got so many issues. Had my gallbladder removed, had pancreatitis 6 times, got very severe high calcium and parathyroid, so all the medication I take causes nausea and bad vomiting."

"Took cyclizine a quite few times for nausea and to be honest it made absolutely no difference. I then got it IV as I was suffering badly with nausea in hospital and it was fantastic, helped me sleep (though I had nightmares) and no nausea at all. Can't understand how the tablets did absolutely nothing but the IV was a lifesaver!?"

"I have unexplained nausea that has been going on for about a month. The doctor gave me cyclizine. It does help with nausea for sure but I've experienced some weird side effects, e.g., knocks me out for a good few hours and I had to take one at work. I felt awful. I honestly felt like I was having a bad trip. Made me unbelievably anxious, heart palpitations. I was so drowsy and I couldn't even walk because I felt like I was going to pass out. I'm not sure if I'll be taking it again but it's the only thing that helps with nausea :("

"This medication is a bonus, the only problem is when I take it, I feel like I'm going to pass out and hit the floor. I find the intravenous one works better as it's in the cannula. I find I get a dry mouth with this medication, and I get numbness in both arms, and my legs feel like jelly. Other than that, the sickness is under control, so I can't really moan, as the other tablet they gave me in the hospital really upset me-that metoclopramide, I think that was the worst, but we are all different in how we tolerate the medication."

"I took it, and within an hour, I felt terrible, felt like I was going to pass out, very dizzy, and I couldn't talk. I also had chills and shakes, my family had to ring an ambulance. It was an awful experience. I was like that for nearly two hours. Be very careful with these tablets - it may scare you."

"I have had this medication in tablet form for 1.5 years now and take a lot due to my Addison's disease. When I become nonstop sick and get weak, I end up in the hospital and get the IV cyclizine. The first few times I felt weird, slurred speech but very calm and settled. Like all the pain in my body had gone. Now I just get the calming feeling like I'm in the clouds."

"After having my gallbladder removed, I was on the ward, but being sick, I was given cyclizine intravenously. I immediately had paralysis and couldn't move. My hearing was muffled, and sight was blurry. It took half an hour to wear off. Terrifying. I had a worse experience in 1994 with an anesthetic and anti-sickness drug for an operation. I had neurological symptoms in my limbs, which took a long time to recover. Apparently, when given intravenously, it should be done slowly. I suspect this didn't happen. Can't get doctors to believe that this happened to me."

"Was prescribed cyclizine for sickness after anaesthetic. After 2 doses, I was having horrible vivid dreams, my legs were thrashing about, and when I woke, I was horribly sick. I'm not taking any more."

"I was taking these to sort out my morning sickness, but they knocked me out. It was eat and be sick, or take 1 of these and can't eat because I'm knocked out for 4 to 5 hours."

"I took cyclizine for morning sickness, but it did nothing for me. If anything, it made the nausea so much worse and more intense."

"I had nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, suspected to be because of IBS, but not sure. Most days I feel really awful after waking. After taking cyclizine, I feel so much better, a miracle drug for sure!"
