Question about Compazine?

[kodiak33]

I posted earlier about feeling nauseaus for the last two days. I havnt "V" but i hvnt in twenty years either, I just dont allow myself to do so. Anyways i got a compazine from my friends mom but i was wondering if i should take it or not. Has anyone had bad side effects from it. If so please tell me..thanks i really need to know soon....

I have actually heard that Compazine is a pretty good anti-emetic, although I dont know about what side effects it could have.

I havent heard of it - the best i know is metachloprimide (might be spelt slightly different) anti nausea pills with no side effects that include anything nasty you dont want!

It's never a good idea, and is against the law to take other peoples prescription medicine.
