I'm sick as a dog and call the Dr.....
 

He can't see me for a week so he calls in something for me called Promethazine w/codeine. Boy does this stuff knock you out but it has allso made me have some very bad dreams unfortunately. It's day 7 and the first day I feel ok so it must work, have you ever been on this medication? If so did you have bad dreams? I want to feel better but I don't think I can take another night of bad dreams.

:(

not that I have known...but maybe I have used sometimes...hehehh

Ugh, I'm allergic to codeine so I dont think so! Was given some liquid with codeine once as a kid when I had a stomach virus, and it just about killed me.

Hope ya feel better, that med is bad news


Promethazine is used to relieve the symptoms of allergic reactions such as allergic rhinitis (runny nose and watery eyes caused by allergy to pollen, mold or dust), allergic conjunctivitis (red, watery eyes caused by allergies), allergic skin reactions, and allergic reactions to blood or plasma products. Promethazine is used with other medications to treat anaphylaxis (sudden, severe allergic reactions). Promethazine is also used to relax and sedate patients before and after surgery, during labor, and at other times. Promethazine is also used to prevent and control upset stomach and vomiting that may occur after surgery, and to help relieve pain after surgery. Promethazine is also used to prevent and treat motion sickness. Promethazine is in a class of medications called phenothiazines. It works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance in the body.


Promethazine can cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

dry mouth
drowsiness
listlessness
difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
nightmares
dizziness
ringing in ears
blurred or double vision
loss of coordination
upset stomach
vomiting
nervousness
restlessness
hyperactivity
abnormally happy mood
stuffy nose
itching
