Promethazine for anti sickness

I’ve just been prescribed promethazine for my sickness and nausea. I’m feeling a bit nervous about taking it as I haven’t heard of antihistamines being used for anti sickness. Has anyone taken this before in first trimester? Thanks xx

It's also used for travel sickness so should definitely help with morning sickness

I was prescribed cyclizine hydrochloride- works wonders im finding. But like you I was nervous at 1st. Hope it helps u x

It’s quite common to be prescribed promethazine for anti-sickness during pregnancy- it is an antihistamine but antihistamines have lots of different properties that can help with other things, including sickness and sleep issues. Really hope it helps you x

I was prescribed this and had a very bad experience on it, don’t want to scare you just thought I’d share. It is commonly used with severe sickness I have hyperemesis but it made me feel very funny, weak, and fuzzy headed causing me to faint so just be careful on it xx

I’ve been prescribed it and I’ve been fine, it did make me a bit tired but no horrible side effects

Thank you all for your replies! Docs told me to take one at night so I’ll see how I go!
