>Mm... I feel that is coming a little out of left field. But that's just my perception, I wasn't tortured, I just had a natural reaction to a phenothiazine. My point, if I left out anything, was that I had a 104 degree fever and could not stop vomiting. Compazine is the most common treatment, although there is also Tigan and other less harsh neuroleptic-like agents. And not as fast working, and incredibly expensive, would be IV ondansetron or granisetron, the 5HT3 blockers.
