I got this medication when i was in high school. I started to have muscle spasms in my neck, my eyes started to roll to the back of my head, very sensitive to light and I couldn't sit still. Had to be rushed to the er where a shot of benedryl was shot somewhere in my lower back. very scary situation.

I take Zofran and it works great with no side effects or sometimes Phenegren but that make me sleepy.

i am a 32 year old female nurse, who was given compazine iv in the er for nausea and vomiting. the medication made me feel like i was going crazy. i wanted to remove my iv and walk right out of the er, but i didn't. i had never experienced that feeling before. my heart was racing, and i didn't feel like i could wait another minute. i even told the doctor how i felt, and he told me it was normal. i rocked back and forth on the bed, then paced around in the room. finally, i disconnected my own iv. my head was pounding, i thought i would go insane. i wish i would have called my nurse back to tell her how i was feeling. now that i am home and was able to do some research, i found out that this is a common side effect of compazine. i don't understand why doctors are prescribing it more commonly than phenergan, which worked perfectly fine for me. i am adding this to my allergy list. i would rather retch for days than feel like i'm going to go completely bonkers again. i will never recommend this medication to anyone. beware.

I was given this medicine through IV in the ER. Immediatly I began to have tremors, cold sweats, & felt like someone was on top of me suffocating me. Nurse then gave Benedryl and I was able to rest. Dr gave a prescription for the oral type but I will never take it again!! I don't think it should be on the market. Also, the migraine that I was in the ER to have treated is still lingering.

I was prescribed this drug while a junior in high school for nausea and vomiting from the flu. After taking the drug for a couple days, I began to have seizure like symptoms, jerking muscles in by face, arms, and upper body. My throat muscles were contracting etc. very, very scarey.

I was prescribed this drug while a junior in high school for nausea and vomiting from the flu.

My father came home and found me lying in the floor. I knew something wasn't right but it was as if I couldn't do anything about it and had no control over my body. He took me to the ER and they gave me several shots of Benadryl. I will never take this drug again. As I said before--very scarey--:(
