User Comments about Phenergan
22 Jul 2014 I use Phenergan to sleep as I cannot sleep at night I have been prescribed Stilnox before but I don’t like to use sleeping pills , I can easily go for 3 nights with absolutely no sleep at all, this upsets me as I do work and do need sleep, this is why I prefer using Phenergan instead of sleeping tablets, I know it’s not good for me but what do you do if you cannot sleep.

23 Nov 2010 Phenergan is much more effective than zofran in relieving post-operative nausea and vomiting

02 Sep 2010 It is great for calming an upset stomach. I have also used it when I had severe menstrual cramps, and it is great for that too. When I am having a stomach ache that keeps me awake for hours, this helps me to sleep.

03 May 2010 It helps slightly with the nausea.
