Hi Yxi :)
>They all lead far faster to TD, even Phenergan.
How can you be sure? There have been very few reports of TD with Phenergan.
>But keep me out of that family nonetheless even if it is because of a horrible experience!
I have also had a horrible experience, not with Compazine though, my experience was with Thorazine. I've taken Phenergan too. It caused more drowsiness than Thorazine but much less akathisia.
>Both Phenergan and Compazine are used both for anti-emesis, regardless of their strength.
Phenergan is believed to be antiemetic via its antihistamine and anticholinergic properties. Cyclizine, another antihistamine, has a similar antiemetic effect but doesn't block D2 receptors. Certain atypicals are also antiemetic, such as Zyprexa. Seroquel might be antiemetic too, I'm not sure.
Warm regards
