When I was a sophmore in high school I was given Compazine to combat the nausea from my bronchitis. I started the drug on Monday and felt fine. On Tuesday morning I took the drug and went to school. I started to break out in the cold sweats and just feeling fuzzy in the head. By second period I was losing control of all the muscles in my upper body.

When I was a sophmore in high school I was given Compazine to combat the nausea from my bronchitis. I started the drug on Monday and felt fine. On Tuesday morning I took the drug and went to school. I started to break out in the cold sweats and just feeling fuzzy in the head. By second period I was losing control of all the muscles in my upper body. I remember my neck was twitching so hard and all I could focus on was a clock behind me. I was rushed to the emergency room and given benadryl via a shot in the tush. The nurse was telling me how common it is to see people coming in with distonic reactions. Honestly, I would rather vomit all day long than ever take this drug again.

I thought that I was loosing my mind. This medication was combined with a pain killer, Demorol, and given to me in an ER. For days after, I suffered from redness, flushing, and tremors. It is the worst drug I have ever taken and do not understand why it is ever prescribed.

I suffer from daily migraines for well over a year now and compazine aids in the nausea I experience and has for months now, PRN. One evening I was with my family and I had taken the med the night prior and I started having a distonic reaction, it was like I was seizing. My muscles would tighten up and contract and my extremities would uncontrollably twitch, which resulted in an ambulance trip. The hospital that I went to couldn't put their finger on the cause. They actually gave my IV compazine for my migraine and benadryl to cease the reaction. Then two days later it happened again at work. I started feeling funny, luckly I work in a hospital, so I walked down to the ER and started with the dystonic reactiion again. ALSO, I have pancreatitis from the compazine, which is another side effect from the lovely drug. Come to find out compazine rectally is off the market and has been for a year now, so why not orally and IV? And it was not my first time taking the med and I said, I had taken it several times in the past for N/V.

I was giving this med for nausea. I took it evry night for a month and had violent shakings for 10 to 15 minutes. I have been off the pill for a week and still get shaking spells during the night. The side effects of this drug are worse than my illness. I will never take it again. I think this drug needs to be reviewed.
