For Nausea/Vomiting "I took these cyclizine when I had been feeling sick for around 7 days and haven’t eaten. I lost so much weight, and my doctor gave me these. The first time taking them, I didn’t feel sick, but I was so sleepy and managed to sleep the whole day. I also had weird dreams and woke up seeing shapes around the room. I’m on the 6th day of taking them, and I still get spells of feeling like I’m going to throw up. I also get constipated or lose bowels :( not pleasant."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I’m on cyclizine for pregnancy sickness and nausea. It definitely works for mild nausea and prevents me from vomiting, however, cyclizine makes me incredibly sleepy and drowsy. I feel like I’m “high.” Definitely can’t leave my house or drive after each pill."

For Nausea/Vomiting "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."
