User Reviews for chlorpromazine oral

GP Rx for my 90 y.o. father (living in his own home) after multiple days of hiccups and associated discomfort and inability to sleep. Hired caregiver initially threw an inappropriate fit over it being prescribed due to her awareness that it is an old psych med that can be used to overly sedate a pt. Took me two more days of his significant discomfort for me to convince him to take the prescribed med. Within 4hrs of initial dose hiccups ended and did not return. Monitored his steadiness. He took a 2nd dose, then refused med due to "feeling tired and sleeping all the time". Remember he's 90 and sleeps a lot most days, and had been sleep deprived due to hiccups. Worked very well to break hiccup issue with no last issue. Would do it again for him or or anyone with intractable hiccups that had it prescribed for them. For true psychiatric issues there are newer and better meds anyway.Read More Read Less

This drug almost killed my father. This is a pill for psycho patients my dad is on dialysis and it caused all his muscles to shut down. DONT DO IT

I usually have intractable hiccups after surgery with sedation or anesthesia. I have used chlorpromazine after several surgeries with very good results. This drug has been effective for me in stopping hiccups and I have not had any noticeable side effects.

I had severe hiccups (ten days running) and I started throwing up blood. I went to the emergency room, they put me on Thorazine drip and my hiccups went away within three hours. Of course, in the hospital they did tests on me which revealed nothing.

I was given this med to aleviate severe nausea and vomiting when I had a very bad stomach virus. It worked great, kept me from getting dehydrated. Another time I got severely sea sick on a deep sea fishing trip. I took this med and in about thiry minutes I felt well enough to keep fishing. It saved the day for me. I have never found another med that works this well for nausea and vomiting. It did make me a little sleepy but still able to function OK.

I use it for sleep, I have insomnia n at all the meds out there this 1 really has done it for me I slept a full night sleep, woke up well rested n not tired.

calmed me down and made me happy and able to deal with all my problems but made me sleep early

IT SUCKED

had hiccups 4 days. dr prescribed this . It stopped hiccups.

I started this med for sleep at night. I'm not sure it's right for me. I'm supposed to take the full dose, but it makes my heart pound in my chest. I feel unable to wake up the next day, too.

Been taking it for almost a week now, so far its been working, no longer paranoid of going outside or talking with people. So far the only side effect is it makes me very sleepy.

easy to take

My husband has had 2 surgeries in the past 10 years and got hiccups after both of them. The first surgery's hiccups lastest 3 days off and on, mostly on. I called the surgeon and he immediately called in oral Thorazine for him...one dose stopped them. His second surgery, he was unable to take Thorazine due to a potential interaction with another drug he had already been given. They tried Reglan, but it only helped for a few hours and the hiccups came back. This problem after surgery is thought to be from a sensitive phrenic nerve...the diaphragm is irritated by the anesthesia gas and can cause the person to have hiccups for days... Hope this info helps someone else!Read More Read Less

i was just recently prescribed this med. and the hiccups are relentless. thoughts and feelings are better, but the hiccups don't stop.

Has made a great difference in my bipolar disorder. Voices are all but gone.was on serequel for a while. Worked but not near as well as this first generation antipsychcotic.am beginning to feel like a person again.Better than any second generation drug for me

Episodes of intractable hiccups were alleviated with 100mg IM dose and 50 mg po dose every four hours for approx. 2 days. My hiccups lasted 2-3 days before going to ER for this med. Have had them on and off for 20 years and this dosage always works for me. I get the hiccups on average every 2-3 years.
