"I was sent to the emergency room due to an ECG coming up with some anomalies and my doctor wanted to be cautious and do some investigations. I had mentioned I had a feeling of vertigo and was prescribed prochlorpromazine which was given to me through an IV. I’m 19 years old and was naive enough to think the doctor knew how to help. About 30 minutes in I started to feel really agitated and started crying, I wanted to rip my IV out! My partner had to keep telling me just 45 more minutes, just 15 minutes to let me know it was nearly over. I was shaking everywhere, I had no control over my own body. We had done some research and found out he had given me a psychotic drug?! It’s been 16 hours since having it and I’m still struggling with ‘jitters’ or shaking. My heart rate has calmed down but my nausea is still there. Vomiting was also accompanied with my reaction. I’ve been looking for how long these side effects will last, hopefully until tomorrow. PLEASE BE AWARE!!"

"I had three days of severe dizziness for three days and had to phone 000 for an ambulance. The Doctor diagnosed vertigo and I was given an injection of prochlorperazine. Straight away I had sweats, panic, tremors and just couldn't wait to get home. I was given a prescription for nine days tablets of the same which I took as it was getting rid of the vertigo. My G.P. then gave me a month more. It is only now on reflection that I realize I had none of these awful effects before the vertigo . I have been left with internal tremors which my Doctors have prescribed a low dose of a blood pressure tablet which would you believe has a side effect of dizziness!!! I won't be taking those! One tip...I have found that a drink of wine stops the fluttering and makes me calm....not to excess but I'll rely on that and hope it will subside over time. I'll be careful never to be given prochlorperazine ever again. Reading these reviews has reassured me that it was that terrible drug."

Compazine (prochlorperazine) "I went to ER twice I had pain and I was given this drug. Both times I had the most intense panic attack of my life!!!! I wanted to freak out, and run yelling. I couldn’t breathe my legs were feeling like I had bugs in them. I couldn’t stand it!!! I actually told the last nurse I didn’t want it because of my first experience. She ignored me and gave it anyway!! I had a major episode and demanded the IV to be taken out I would rather be in intense pain! DO NOT Use This DRUG!"
