phenergen

Question

Does anyone know much about phenergen?  It is an anti-naseau medicine that they sometimes give to help boost pain meds. I have some that I take when I get an upset stomach. Is it addictive?  It also helps me sleep but I don't want to take something if it is an addictive drug.

phenergan potentiates pain pills..so no..if someone was using for nrg/adding phenergan to it would defeat that for sure...phenergan is an antihistamine and makes u very drowsy...not addictive tho and during wd is good for sleep//for anxiety at 1/4 of a pill...good for the nausea that may occur..and the runny nose some get

I take Pheregan all the time, I have been takin it for years for nausea and vomitting for my Migraines, But now I have been using it to fall asleep. EEKK! bad move but it works. Pheregan isnt addictive but it does wonders on nausea and vomitting, I have a phobia of vomitting, yes its stupid but I have it and I have to deal with it, I havent thrown up in years becayse of the Pheregan and when I used it to detox, it worked great,. It called my stomach down and cut my nausea and I didnt throw up once. Its great for detox. Any more questions on it please let me know!!

no its not addictive but it commonly used by opioid addicts as a potentiator.This can b problematic if it is taken 4 long periods as,due to its potentiating properties,it can cause yr tolerance to opiods to grow.Its been estimated that phenergan can increase the potency of most opioids by roughly 20%.So if u take 10mgs of sub with phenergan it would b like taking 12mgs of sub.If done 4 long enuff yr body will adjust to this.When the phenergan is ceased,it would b like dropping 20% of yr dose causing wds
