DR. Diana
Because of my sensitivities to meds. I went back through my notes and looked at meds I have tolerated well. I have used Promethazine for migraines and nausea and several times when my stomach just went on strike…and I could not keep food down.(.Usually due to a reaction and then the cycle is hard to break.) I am drowsy if I take a mid size dose, but feel very rested if I do sleep and have absolutely no brain fog afterwards. I know that promethazine does not block the release of h1 but I think it interferes? Is it possible that this med could work like zrytec? I really would like to stick to something that I have used well. The inactive ingredients can be as big a risk for me as active..
I always thought the lack of brain fog and stomach issues after this med was just my body breathing a sigh of relief after a 3 day vomiting and migraine episode. I now wonder if I was actually experiencing my brain in a more normal state due to the meds. I also notice that I can handle the heat better and my sugar levels are more stable. I did check for cross reactions with my meds and there isn’t a problem. I have a current rx for Promethazine for nausea, but would not start using it daily without checking in with my Dr. I want to have good info before I pitch my case to him.. lol Thanks again for the opportunity to brainstorm.
