Trimethobenzamide "I have tried most of the mainline anti-nausea medications, and they either did not work, or I had reactions to them. I had a very experienced nurse who suggested giving Tigan a try, and since then, I have been taking it as needed for over four years to help with pain-related nausea. It works much better if I stay ahead of the nausea and don't let it get out of control before I treat."

Trimethobenzamide "I'm highly allergic to Compazine and anything in that family of phenothiazines and phenothiazides, which is the majority of the anti-nausea drugs. Tigan is one of the few things I know of for an anti-nausea medication that is not related, and I can handle in small amounts infrequently. I have the capsules at home, at the hospital, they had an injectable. There used to be a suppository, which I wish they still had, but as far as I know, they are no longer made. I keep a few capsules on hand for emergencies."

Trimethobenzamide "Was on Phenergan for years. It worked perfectly! However, the side effects of Phenergan were making my restless leg worse. They switched me to Tigan. It's pretty good. It just doesn't completely wipe out all the nausea or last as long as Phenergan, but it definitely works for me!"

Trimethobenzamide "Tigan user for about 7 years. I tried everything, promethazine, ondansetron; finally, my doctor mentioned Tigan, and I said, sure, can't hurt to try it. It was incredibly effective for me. Suffering from a rare stomach disease, severe chronic pancreatitis, and nausea all the time; it was a godsend! I gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks; work lunches were fun, and I didn't have to look at my food and wonder what I could force-feed myself or eat anything at all. I would work full time and on call and not eat solid food for 3 days. Goodbye, my friend, you have been discontinued. Prochlorperazine is just a shadow of you. Another drug that works for me fine, but most don't like it."

Trimethobenzamide "10 years I suffered from pancolitis before being diagnosed, tried promethazine, Zofran, omeprazole, liquid antacid medication, and a few others. Lost 140 lb and was in the hospital monthly. Finally started Tigan, and I've gained 20 lb in the past 10 days. I'm hydrated again, not malnourished, can actually live life again. It is a whole new future because of Tigan."

Trimethobenzamide "Tigan was the first antiemetic that did not make me drowsy. I have kept it on hand for 40 years. I used it for vertigo and occasional nausea due to stomach virus. Tigan is also the first anticholinergic antiemetic that did not make me drowsy. I am lost since it is unavailable."

"This is the only drug that makes it possible for me to drive long distances or function due to the nausea I get when I get migraines. No other motion sickness medicine works, and I've tried everything. I never go anywhere without it. When they quit making it for a while, I had to use suppositories, and they worked too, just not quite as long or completely. I hope they never quit making it, I would be in trouble."

"I have type one diabetes, so not being able to eat, due to nausea and vomiting, can really throw blood sugar levels off in a hurry. My doctor prescribed trimethobenzamide for me many years ago when I was suffering from the flu, and it worked extremely well and almost instantly, so I've always requested it whenever I've had problems with nausea, which (thankfully) is very infrequent, but it's been (possibly literally) a life-saver at those times!!!"

Trimethobenzamide "I took one pill of this as it's supposed to help with treating nausea. At the time, I was experiencing severe nausea, and this pill did absolutely nothing to help me. It caused stomach upset, which I find to be really weird, as it is supposed to be designed to get rid of such."

Trimethobenzamide "Tigan is the only anti-nausea med that works for me. I call it my miracle pill because it's so effective and works quickly. I don't know what I'd do without it."

Trimethobenzamide "It's an older medication but it is effective. Although Compazine, Zofran, and promethazine are better, I think."

Trimethobenzamide "Tigan worked very well for me. I sorely miss it. I have had to endure terrible migraines because it is not available in the United States."
