For Nausea/Vomiting "I had a migraine for about 7 days that increased in severity each day. It got so bad I figured my brain tumor was probably growing again, so I went to the ER. They gave me Compazine, and the migraine went away, but within 10 minutes I felt like my heart was going to explode, and I wanted to panic really bad. They gave me 2 Benadryl, which just made me so tired I could barely open my eyes. I had to do a brain MRI, and it lasted over 30 minutes. I was just holding in my panic attack the whole time. I went home and went to sleep to wake up to the anxiety still there for the next 3 days! It was a terrible experience that I struggled through and found out I am definitely allergic to Compazine."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I went to the ER yesterday for a migraine and nausea that I was experiencing for 5 days. They gave me a cocktail of Toradol, Benadryl, Tylenol, and Compazine. One day later, I am still having horrible panic attacks, and my arms feel like they are non-stop moving. It feels as if I have restless leg syndrome in my arms. This medication made me feel like I was dying. I had to stay home from class and work because I couldn't function. I hope this arm sensation goes away soon."

For Anxiety "I went to the ER twice. I had pain, and I was given this drug. Both times, I had the most intense panic attack of my life!!!! I wanted to freak out and run yelling. I couldn’t breathe, my legs were feeling like I had bugs in them. I couldn’t stand it!!! I actually told the last nurse I didn’t want it because of my first experience. She ignored me and gave it anyway!! I had a major episode and demanded the IV to be taken out. I would rather be in intense pain! DO NOT use this drug!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I had a migraine, had this through an IV with Benadryl, Toradol, and obviously Compazine. Within 5 minutes, I had nausea. I had a panic attack and could barely breathe. I tried to take the BP cuff off. I had anxiety and felt like I couldn't fall asleep. I fell asleep in the hospital bed after 15 minutes of pure torture and slept for 45 minutes. I woke up, barely able to breathe. I got discharged and went back home. The headache was gone, but I felt like I could barely breathe. Some depression was triggered, I wanted to die. I couldn't even take a nap, even after 45 minutes. I couldn't do anything, reading a book was awful, browsing the internet was awful. Side effects wore off after 48 hours. I had the exact same experience next time I had horrible migraines. I wish I just had the migraines."
