Vistaril question
Hi All,
I had an appointment with my pain dr on Monday- it went very well. Basically, I am staying on the Nucynta 100mg ER with Nucynta 75 mg for breakthrough. He did say that he did not want me to use Phenergan with the nucynta due to a possible interaction. (He did say that the injections were ok in an absolute emergency.) My neuro does give oral Phenergan and Zofran to deal with nausea from migraines.
When I was at patient at Diamond and at MHNI, they gave me visteril for the nausea. It worked fairly well. I have also gotten it at the ER. This morning, I had a pretty bad episode of nausea and was also out of Zofran. Then I remembered that Dora (yes, Dora my service dog) had been prescribed Visteril for something a few months ago. I was kind of desperate so I tried taking the visteril and it worked really well. (Normally, I would not take my dog's medication.) Still it worked really well. I will probably ask my neurologist about it tomorrow.
Has anyone else used Visteril and how well does it work for you?
Pain free days,

Visteril

I looked up Visteril and it isn't an anti nausea medication, but I am glad it works that way for you. The literature said it is used for Psychoneurosis, anxiety and as a sedative post op.
I know there are many medications that are used "off label" for different needs, so this doesn't surprise me

Re: Vistaril question
It's true that Phenergan is contraindicated w/ Nucynta, but Zofran is not. Does Zofran do the trick?

Zofran and Promethazine work with Nucynta for me.

Re: Vistaril question
Hi All,
Thanks for the advice and replies.
Yes, Zofran does help the nausea. If I get really sick- I use a combination of a phenergan injection and Zofran. However, I do have oral phenergan, which I take for occasional migraine nausea. My pain dr just didn't want me on too much phenergan. Yes, Visteril is a sedative, but Diamond used to give it for nausea. Anyway, my neuro called some in and it does help. So that is good
