"I went to the ER after having a seizure and giving myself a concussion. I was nauseous and had a splitting headache so they gave me droperidol in an IV with Tordal. The hospital was busy and had no room available so they put me back in the waiting room with my IV (in a wheelchair you can’t move yourself) and the anxiety was out of the world. I felt this overall sense of something is serious wrong. I couldn’t STOP moving. I was so uncomfortable. I was trying to crawl out of my skin. Eventually someone came back to bring me for a CT scan and I was having a serious panic attack. My heart rate through the roof. I just kept thinking about how do I get out of here. And when I was done they brought me BACK to the waiting room and I eventually pulled out my own IV and left without being discharged. I’ve never experienced anything like this and I don’t wish it upon anyone. This drug should not be used. It has been over 24 hours and I still don’t feel normal yet."

"Daughter brought into ED for 2nd time for nausea and abdominal pain. After a bunch of negative tests, they suggested Bentyl and Droperidol. Immediately she became anxious and agitated, restless, and couldn't sit still. Her fibro flared up and her back started hurting. Big behavior change, called the nurse, and he brought in Benadryl, which did help some. It may have decreased her nausea, but not worth the other effects. I don't recommend this med at all"

Inapsine (droperidol) "I was given inapsine for nausea during delivery by caesarian. While lying on the operating table I developed an extreme case of RLS, restless arms, actually, since my lower body was completely anesthetized. The only relief was flailing my arms and shaking them vigorously. I passed out shortly thereafter and that was the end of that. Fifteen years later I experienced somewhat extreme RLS and immediately recognized it as the same way my arms had felt during delivery (post-inapsine). The RLS continued for months and was likely due to taking sertraline. When I finally made the connection, I tapered off the sertraline and haven't had an episode since. Perhaps those who have RLS due to inapsine are more likely to have the same reaction to SSRIs."

"This was hands down one of the best meds I've had. I have had several flares of colitis, and had to go into ER for treatment. This helped w/the nausea and pain instantly!! Yes, I felt a lil groggy, but much better than when I had arrived there! I give it two thumbs up!"

"This almost ended me. I rocked back and forth for 3 days and thought I was dying. I couldn't breathe. Take this stuff off the market please."

Inapsine (droperidol) "I have chronic severe nausea from 5 neck surgeries plus gastroparesis. I was given this in the ER in 1998, and it's the best nausea medicine you can get, in my opinion!"
