Can I whip promethazine to step to sleep? One pill doesn't work..can I steal two in need unenthusiastic side-effects?
My Dr. prescribed them to me for nausea, the bottle says it may lead to drowsiness, and I can't sleep.
Answers:
One of the possible side effects with promethazine is sleepiness. The drug is an antihistimine of the H1 receptor class (for allergies and motion sickness or nausea) and you should not combine it near alcohol or other drugs that make you sleepy. I WOULD NOT run more than the recommended dose, (so do not take 2) nor should you run something to help you sleep while taking this short talking to your doctor.

Oh, I see in a minute you are a pharmacist. Get your butt back to the Dr.
It depends on the dosage.
1) I wouldn't whip a medication for anything OTHER than what it was prescribed for, at hand are a lot of OTC medication out there that will give a hand you fall asleep.
2) Depending on your size, I would not walk over 25mg, if you need more than that to back you relax to fall asleep, at hand is something else going on...
I checked out your med promethazine(it is for nausea and can cause drowsiness.) you read out 1 pill doesn't work you can't sleep, I say beckon your doctor before you bring more then what he prescribed because at hand are different mg to this med. Never doctor on your self when you get a medication from the doctor, you should follow what be prescribed. CALL THE DOCTOR.
