If one is unable to get Metoclopramide or any related Antiemetic. Will the SN work? What will be reprcussions of not using Antiemetic ?
If you would still like to donate, you still can. We have more than enough funds to cover operating expenses for quite a while, so don't worry about donating if you aren't able. If you want to donate something other than what is listed, you can contact RainAndSadness.

There's two types of Dramamine. One has Meclizine as the active ingredient. That one would be an ok substitute.Dramamine is unlikely to work. Something intended for travel sickness probably won't be strong enough according to Stan's Guide. You need a beta blocker.
Dude, beta blockers are to slow down the increased heart rate from an SN overdose. They're talking about antiemetics here. Also, there's some anecdotal evidence that dramamine could be more effective than no antiemetic at all, so discounting it out of hand as an option isn't the best thing to do. I've seen a couple of posts where you were posting misinformation/misunderstandings about SN poisoning as facts now...its great if you want to help people, but you have to make sure you're not doing the opposite and muddying the waters instead of clarifying them.Dramamine is unlikely to work.

Dramamine is the most common brand name for dimenhydrinate, an antihistamine. I'm not sure if there are variations of Dramamine that contain meclizine, but it's worth clarifying that meclizine and dimenhydrinate are different antihistamines. Meclizine tends to take longer to work and is often prescribed for vertigo, BUT it is technically a dopamine-blocker, whereas I do not believe dimenhydrinate is. The dopamine-blocker is really what you want in an AE. I did read in another thread though that meclizine perhaps does not block the correct kind of dopamine receptor. I can't speak definitely on this, though.There's two types of Dramamine. One has Meclizine as the active ingredient. That one would be an ok substitute.
This is good information, the mechanism of action is crucial with an AE for SN. It seems anything dopaminergenic will do, even antipsychotics like seroquel, thanks for posting!Dramamine is the most common brand name for dimenhydrinate, an antihistamine.

Yes, this is why I said meclizine is better than nothing. Basically a poor substitute, but if someone doesn't have access to anything else it's worth a shot. It was talked about a bit on SS earlier this year and this seemed to be the general consensus.Dramamine is the most common brand name for dimenhydrinate, an antihistamine.

I get it for anxiety induced nausea, as I vomit when having severe panic attacks. Am supposed to use it for when I have to leave the house and I have a lot of anxiety (in combination with benzo).What may be the best thing to say to your dr so that he can prescribe - Metoclopramide ?
People have seemed to do this successfully, though I'm not sure how. My doctor is pretty good at prescribing me things if I say I have a problem, but if I made up some story about needing an AE, I doubt she'd prescribe meto. There could be a host of things she'd prescribe and I'd have no way of guaranteeing I get a dopamine blocker. I'm currently on antidepressants but I don't think I could convince her I need antipsychotics (which would contain dopamine blockers). So anyway, I just don't even try.What may be the best thing to say to your dr so that he can prescribe - Metoclopramide ?
