Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "Complications from a first colorectal surgery had me in the OR two additional times within a three-week span. Very painful. Doc had me on Meprozine for pain and Valium for colon spasms. Meprozine was very good at pain relief-kept me feeling drunk and out of it. Side effects were extreme drowsiness and blurred vision."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "I used this medicine every day for sixteen years. It didn't really help that much with pain, but it took me out of reality, so I didn't care if I was in pain. Not an addicting feeling, so when I stopped it cold turkey when I moved to a different state, I didn't feel sick for not having it."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "After removal of 2 infected teeth, the dentist prescribed Meprozine, which worked very well. I have problems with many pain meds and have an allergic reaction to codeine. I also have problems keeping medicine down, and this med did not upset my stomach at all. What a great relief to find this medicine."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and I am in at least 6 or 7 level pain most of the time without meds. A lot of pain meds make me nauseated or leave me woozy. For some reason, Meprozine doesn't make me feel light-headed at all, and the Phenergan in it keeps me from being nauseated. I was able to go to college and graduate with honors because I actually felt like doing something!"

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "Prescribed for pain relief of kidney stone(s). Found Meprozine to be very effective in reducing pain. For me, it also had a very soothing psychological effect; that everything was going to be alright. Just what I needed in the said situation. Doctor recently said they don't make it as much anymore, not sure why."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "I found this medicine very useful for pain. I had my ankle operated on, and they prescribed this to me. I have to agree with most of the reviews. I felt little to no pain, but I slept all the time, and now when my ankle becomes painful, I will take a pill, and I have to lay down. My mouth stayed dry the whole time, I couldn't get enough liquids in me."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "I tolerated this drug very well after dental surgery and regret that it is no longer available. The combination of Demerol and promethazine created a medicine that tended to be more effective for pain than Demerol tablets. I had no unpleasant side effects. Easy to use, difficult to get."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "I recently had a plate and screws put in my wrist due to a fall. After the surgery, they sent me home with this medicine. The only concern I have is I don't know if the medicine relieved my pain because all I could do is sleep. It made me so groggy. Even after I woke up, I was still not all there, feeling very lightheaded with no energy at all."

Meperidine / promethazine for Pain "I took this after a botched ex-implant surgery when it had to be redone a 2nd time. The first surgeon cut into the implant, which leaked out into the body cavity, then a second surgeon had to go in and clean up his mess. This helped keep me out of pain while my body was resting, repairing, and regenerating. Of course, I slept most of the time. The 2nd M.D. was much better and more informed than the first one. It really helped, and I was on it about 2.5 weeks. I didn't have any side effects coming off of it."
