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."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Given this due to nausea I experienced for a few months, and it was far from helpful personally. First dose I took, felt heavy with a stomachache and a headache. Extreme tiredness too, alongside feeling emotionally dead. I don't see many with this experience on here, but this was mine. Then for the second dose hours later, unimaginable distress and nervousness. I could not stop it no matter what I did, the worst feeling. Felt so exhausted but then had insomnia and could not sleep whatsoever. The shaking was the most concerning to me, as it was shaking muscles all throughout my body uncontrollably. Very scary experience with this medication, the anxiety being unbearable is the worst symptom I have ever experienced from any medication in my life. Every negative thought at the front of my head made me on edge to a point that was so extreme, and I could do nothing to prevent or control it. I was only 16 years old, so this was an eye-opening experience for me with cyclizine."

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 "Was having persistent nausea and vomiting due to a virus. Was given this drug, and it did work nice after about an hour, I could finally sleep for a little bit. However, it doesn't work for very long (only about 2-3 hours) and came with side effects, like shakiness and restlessness later on in the day (at least my doctor told me this medicine was to blame for that)."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Last year I was staying at the hospital and was given cyclizine through an IV injection, they said it would take 15-30 minutes to feel any effects, but from the moment I felt the cold liquid going in my arm, I felt weird. I began speaking absolute nonsense, it was a lot of fun, and all the hospital staff got a good laugh out of it. By the time it had worn off, I already wanted it again. I struggled to sleep and was sweating profusely from the withdrawal. The next morning, I asked the nurse for it again, but this time it was different. I looked at my hands and watched as they suddenly became very pale, and you could see every single vein in my hand. I was shaking, having palpitations, my teeth were clattering, and I kept feeling like I was constantly falling out of consciousness and then suddenly being brought back to life. It was terrifying. The nurse sat by my side and was just as worried. He tried comforting me but was also scared I was having an allergic reaction to it. Never again."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Was prescribed this to counteract nausea from another medication. The first day I took it, I felt so “high” and awfully drowsy, could do nothing but sleep. Every time I take it, I normally get that same “high” feeling along with trembling and drowsiness. I kept taking it because it was fixing the nausea, and I could go to sleep straight away. 5 months later, for whatever reason, I experienced much different side effects. Struggling to breathe, throat felt like it was closing slightly, stomach pains, headache, hot chest, nervousness, irritated sinuses, and sweats. Definitely would not be taking again despite the fact it’s helped me for so long!"

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 Motion Sickness "I've been given this medication for dizziness as Stemetil wasn’t working, but this medication isn’t working too, and I have leg tremors. Don’t think I’ll continue with it."
