"Was given Maxolon during an SVT episode as I became quite nauseated, reacted terribly. It made me non-stop vomit, and when vomiting was unable to breathe. Took doctors a while to figure out what was causing the reaction, ended up in ICU for 72 hours..."

"Made my eyes go to the back of my head. Hurt so much. I couldn't see anything. Until the doctors gave me an injection to bring my eyes down to see again, it was so painful afterwards. The drug was given to me because of the sickness I had and was given to me in the hospital."

"I can't express enough how distressing this drug was for me. About 2 hours later, I experienced what I thought was restless legs. I felt really anxious and hot and had heart palpitations. This then turned into severe akathisia, which is the most distressing thing I have ever gone through. It felt like every part of me was having a panic attack, but my legs, buttocks, and pelvis were the worst. Could not sit down, had to keep pacing around. As soon as I tried to stand still and sit, it felt like absolute torture because the only relief I got was having to constantly move my body and strain my muscles. I was so scared and felt like I was going crazy. This happened to me twice, the second time was with a different medicine, which apparently had the same ingredients, but it was under a different name. I was given 2 Valiums just to settle what felt like an absolute nightmare. I’m sure for most it’s probably fine, unfortunately for me, it was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced."
