"I received Inapsine or droperidol in an ER visit to assess a small gastric bleed related to gastroparesis. The nausea and vomiting had persisted for 2 days. However, within 10 minutes of the drug administration, I became severely restless and unable to remain in the bed. I suffered the worst episode of restless leg syndrome in my life, but it involved my upper body and arms, too! I paced, stretched, and moved constantly, trying to achieve some comfort. I became repeatedly tangled in the IV tubing. Finally, I relaxed after having received several IV or IM doses of diazepam. I remained awake at home until the following morning."

"I was given Inapsine for nausea during delivery by cesarean. While lying on the operating table, I developed an extreme case of RLS, restless arms, actually, since my lower body was completely anesthetized. The only relief was flailing my arms and shaking them vigorously. I passed out shortly thereafter, and that was the end of that. Fifteen years later, I experienced somewhat extreme RLS and immediately recognized it as the same way my arms had felt during delivery (post-Inapsine). The RLS continued for months and was likely due to taking sertraline. When I finally made the connection, I tapered off the sertraline and haven't had an episode since. Perhaps those who have RLS due to Inapsine are more likely to have the same reaction to SSRIs."

"I have chronic severe nausea from 5 neck surgeries plus gastroparesis. I was given this in the ER in 1998, and it's the best nausea medicine you can get, in my opinion!"

"I have been a nurse since 1984 and a paramedic since 1990. In New Orleans, in 1993, while working on an ambulance, I became nauseated and began vomiting. Went home, changed, had someone drive me to the ER at a hospital in Harahan (nice subdivision). I expected to get the usual treatment of IV saline and the safe anti-emetic Phenergan. I told the ER doctor I was very allergic to Reglan. He injects me with Inapsine (Droperidol) because he wants to see how it worked - even though people with allergy to Reglan should never be given Inapsine. I had already been declared clinically dead two years prior in a car accident, but was revived. This so-called drug causes irregular heartbeats. I thought I was going to die. It was much worse than actually dying."
