Promethazine Compared to Alternatives

For Nausea/Vomiting: This is a very potent drug. I'll say that. Highly effective for nausea and works very quickly, and that was what I was taking it for, so I'm giving it a 9. The one point deduction is for the weird side effects. Definitely makes you super drowsy, and I also experienced mood swings, crying jags, and what almost felt like hot flashes. But they're preferable to the extreme nausea, so... weigh your options.

For Nausea/Vomiting: I am pregnant and have severe nausea so my doc gave me these pills. They are amazing but they act like a sleeping pill. I went to bed at 5 pm and woke up at 7 am next morning. I like not feeling sick but I don't like sleeping so much when I take it.

For Nausea/Vomiting: I caught a stomach bug around the middle of November and was extremely nauseous. I saw my gastroenterologist who prescribed Ondansetron which helped. I have post infectious IBS thanks to the nasty stomach bug I picked up and experience nausea among other things and this medicine has helped. I hate feeling nauseous.

For Nausea/Vomiting: I have endometriosis on my bowel that causes almost constant nausea. I usually take Domperidone but when I'm having a particularly bad day/night i needed something stonger. I asked my specialist for it and it took a while to get them to prescribe it. eventually they relented. It didn't take long for me to need it. I was having a very bad night - dry heaves, bad taste in mouth and shakes. I took 1 x 4mg pill and within 10 mins I was feeling almost human...I managed to get to sleep and today I'm at work... This would not have been possible without this little magic pill... the reason for the 8 and not a 10 is because I have only so far used it once.... it worked wonderfully that one time but I'll hold some reservation in case it was a fluke.

For Nausea/Vomiting: I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and have had bad nausea/morning sickness since week 5. This medicine has been wonderful. There are times where I still feel sick, but it's bearable and I don't throw up. I've been taking it so long now that the sleepiness it causes doesn't affect me anymore. However, the constipation from it has been a downer.

For Nausea/Vomiting: I was taking Zofran for awful stomach upset with nausea because one of my other medicines I was on I picked up at pharmacy was a generic new form of medication to treat pain. This new medicine made me very sick. Zofran helped out a lot plus I could take it up to four times per-day. However, I'm also on Lexapro for depression and panic attacks. One day after 2 weeks on these meds I had severe shaking happening to me and I never felt this way before.. Come to find out taking both the Zofran and Lexapro on same day each day was high risk of a drug interaction very severe and I was having the symptoms of a bad interaction. I need to change my lexapro to another type of depression med. But, every depression med is bad with zofran.
