Phenergan (promethazine) "I have Meniere's - Phenergan seemed to help for about 2 hours, followed by a urge to throw up, and a horrible headache... also had to unscrew the fluourescent bulbs above desk at work, just felt like a rollercoaster - I felt better when I was moving, but when I stopped I was still moving! ENT switched me to 1mg Ativan which worked (finally!), but it made me sleepy till I got used to it."

"The pill version does nothing for vertigo. In my opinion, it appears to make me feel more unbalanced and dizzy than without. The syrup form does provide some help when it comes to treating vertigo. But, it its effects aren't long lasting either.The suppository form does provide some help towards helping treat vertigo. For severe cases of vertigo, phenergan alone is not the best solution for such. I would only recommend using it if your vertigo is not severe."

"Be aware this medicine may lower your blood sugar levels even if taken on a as needed basis for vertigo symptoms. Had to switch to meclizine instead."

"I take this medication with another pill for my Ménière's Disease. Once my vertigo is in play I get severely nauseated and vomit. With this drug once an attack comes on I take it immediately. It not only calms me down but makes the nausea go away almost completely it's a God send."
