"I was given Inapsine after surgery when I was about 19 years old. It was injected into my thigh to control nausea. I was given 3 injections, and about a half hour after the third injection, I went into a dystonic reaction where my eyes rolled to the back of my head, my mouth clenched down, and my teeth were clenching so hard I thought they'd break. My abdominal muscles were seizing up, and that is where I had my stitches, so it was extremely painful. My neck was twisting back, and my tongue was rolling to the back of my throat. It took the hospital about 6 hours to figure out what was happening-what caused my reaction. Only the hospital pharmacist figured it out. They tried, prior to the pharmacist showing up, sedating me with valium and other drugs. Finally, the pharmacist suggested the IV drip, and that stopped the reaction. It was terrifying and one of the worst experiences of my life. I was filled with absolute terror during this entire reaction."
