For Nausea/Vomiting "Following surgery, I was administered cyclizine IV for nausea and had an immediate adverse reaction. My whole body was shaking, my teeth were chattering uncontrollably, I was losing sensation in my hands and feet, and felt like I was falling into blackness. I had tightening in my chest and chest pains with an increased heart rate. For 1 1/2 hours after it was administered, I was unable to pass urine, although I was absolutely desperate. My heart rate remained higher than usual for the following 8 to 10 hours, and I was unable to sleep also. I have now noted this drug with my GP and will take extra caution next time. My nurses told me I was having a panic attack as I probably wanted to pass urine after my surgery. This was far worse."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I have morning sickness, vomiting (pregnancy), etc. My doctor gave me this medication. It works straight away, but I had side effects. I had a dry mouth and had to drink a lot of mineral water. I had constipation. After I took the tablet, my body was shaking, I felt cold, and I couldn't concentrate on anything. I felt weak for the first hour. I felt better later, and my stomach didn't upset me anymore. I noticed that 50 mg was too big a dose for me, and I was taking just half of the tablet. It didn't last long, but I had less of the side effects. Overall, it was a big help, and this medicine helped me a lot and stopped me from feeling bad and vomiting. I am not sure it is safe for my baby, but it helped me stay alive during the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy."

For Nausea/Vomiting "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."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Given this cyclizine by IV after feeling sick on metronidazole from a blood infection from piercing. Within seconds, I nearly passed out, I was shaking uncontrollably all over, teeth chattering, eyes closed, convulsions, etc. Thought I was going to die. Told of the adverse reaction to cyclizine, second that day apparently, so obviously quite common."
