Phenergan

So, Phenergan , I have found, is not good for me. Last Saturday, I woke up feeling a little nauseated, which is not often, but uncomfortable nonetheless. When I arrived at the clinic, I told the tech about the nausea and she suggested 'Phenergan'. The dialogue is as follows:

"Will it make me drowsy?"
"No, it won't make you drowsy."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, it shouldn't make you drowsy."

Alright, so she tells the nurse on call. About 10 minutes into the run, the nurse comes in to do the dailies (Daily Assessments) and medications. He pushes the Phenergan into the machine before I can say anything and IMMEDIATELY, I start to get drowsy. Hmm I wonder.

"Was that the Phenergan?"
"Yes, you said you were nauseated?"
"Yes, but does it make you drowsy?"
"Of course! Phenergan always makes people drowsy its an antihistimine."

My speech slurs, my vision dims and its lights out. But not for long. Now something's going on with all my lower extremeties. I can't stop twitching or moving and Restless Leg Syndrome is in full force. I'm crying, and upset and basically going crazy. The nurse decides to cut the treatment time and send me home (still drowsy mind you). And I spend a lovely afternoon in the parking lot of the clinic, sleeping the Phenegran off. It took an entire day for that stuff to get out of my system and I not only lost a day of treatment, I had to wait another day and a half to have an emergency run.

Next time I feel nauseated? I'm bringin' crackers.
