Dipenhydramin instead of meto

[Canon1]

Hi, i have found a different anti - emetic, it's called dipenhydramine. Will this also do the job?

 

[BridgeJumper]

Nope. It has to be the kind of emetic that you get on prescription.

That's an antihistamine used to treat motion sickness. You need a dopamine blocker.

Where can I get meto on the net?
Another one that is without prescription is called vomex. Does this work?

I plan to use this in case I get EPS from meto. I want to test it as a sleep aid. Not sure how much of a gamble using meto and diphenhydramine together (to prevent vomiting) would be. drug interaction checker says DH has EPS as a side effect, so I imagine it enhances the EPS risk inherent in taking meto.

What is eps?

 

[Daniela]

EPS = Extrapyramidal symptoms

dystonia (continuous spasms and muscle contractions)
akathisia (restlessness)
pseudoparkinsonism i.e. drug-induced parkinsonism
bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
tremors
tardive dyskinesia (irregular, jerky movements)

Vomex is just an active ingredient in dipenhydramine.

Have you tried a search engine ?
This site also has a search box ( scroll to top, then look in top right corner )

Tried it but can't find

I just put : antiemetic eps into a search engine, and it came up immediately.

But you should also get used to using the search function within this forum, because you'll get much more targeted answers....
