"I am approximately 65 years old. Post-surgery, I was prescribed Oxycodone and Phenergan, and after 18 hours, speech became slurred, unable to form words or express myself accurately. Turns out my youngest daughter had a similar reaction to the same drug during an appendicitis crisis."

"Been taking promethazine 10 mg for years now to get rid of motion sickness. I can’t travel on public transport. But then I noticed after running out of my prescription that there was 25 mg Phenergan you could buy at the chemist with 56 tablets. So I saw you could take them to help you sleep, so I started taking them with my zopiclone sleeping tablets, which didn’t really work (shouldn't be taken together). The usual dose for sleeping is 25 mg to 50 mg at night, but I have been taking more than that (which is dangerous). Some advice would be very much appreciated."

"I have been taking Phenergan 25 mg for years now. I have no problem with it, and it works fine for me. This is for the lady that said she was 65 years old and her daughter had the same reaction. You are severely allergic to Phenergan, do not take it anymore, please. My wife was prescribed it for nausea and vomiting. She started taking it, and every time she started feeling like throwing up, by the time I made her go to the emergency room, she was on the couch with her feet raised. I mean, I had to put a cinder block under the end of the couch to raise it up enough for her. She could not stand up without throwing up, and I had to hold her up to get to the bathroom. She was in the hospital for a week. Now she cannot look up without getting dizzy and going to pass out!"

"Was prescribed Phenergan with opioids after highly invasive complex oral surgery. Slept for a week and did not care if my mouth hurt. Best stuff ever."

"I am on opiate pain medication for a back injury from a car accident, and the opiates make me nauseated and vomit. My pain doctor put me on 25mg of Promethazine 3 times a day and it works wonders! It will make you a little sleepy, but once you get used to it, that feeling goes away. I've tried Tigan (Trimethobenzamide) which made the nausea worse. I also tried Zofran (Ondansetron) which I hated because it tastes nasty, and that doesn't help when you are nauseated. I would HIGHLY recommend Promethazine for ANYONE who SUFFERS from nausea due to opiates or chronic nausea!"
