"I only take Phenergen for sleep as a last resort, and only the low dose. Phenergen does help me sleep, but it gives me intense nightmares and leaves me feeling really stressed and anxious. It also makes me drowsy the next day, so I basically can't function. Even for sleep though, it only works for a few days and then wears off. So only good for the short-term in my case. I wouldn't dare try the stronger stuff, I think it would be too much. As for allergies, it works well and instantly. So there's that at least. Still get the side-effects though."

"I may have had an auditory hallucination using this. Took 3mg just to be cautious. Small tablets. Ambo had mentioned it to me, so I gave it a go. OTC in Australia. The pharmacist told me to use no more than three times a week. Not bad."

"I took 25mg Phenergan last night for anxiety and it took 2 hours to kick in, I slept great and got 8 hours sleep, the only thing for me was the length it takes to kick in."

"Although this medication isn’t strong enough to sedate you, it gave me the most craziest/strangest dreams ever. The type of dreams you can remember every detail ...."

"I tried to use 50mg to go to sleep and the medication had absolutely no affect on me other than heaviness in my legs. I guess it depends on who you are."

"I have recently started taking phenergan, I take two 50mg tablets about 20 minutes before sleep. 9 times out of 10 I'm having the most intense nightmares! I've literally just woke up from another. These tablets do work however you need to be mindful nightmares can occur."
