In our ER they tend to use phenergan and/or compazine. But here in surgery/recovery the standard is Reglan/zofran IV, after that it depends?

Reglan is used a lot for migraines where I work. Except for those who are used to narcs for migraines, it can be quite effective.

EPS symptom Katasthesia. IV compazine does this too. Not to everyone though. Sorry if I spelled it wrong!!

Well on the side of EPS and reactions. They claim the rate of administration of compazine is the cause for the reactions. However, I used to put it in 100cc of nss over 20-30 minutes.
It didnt change it at all. Still had a quite a few.

It was common also because, we used compazine for migraines also. Excpet for the chronic migrainers that claimed allergies to evrything in the world except demerol.

I don't have a clue about the speed of administration theory but I'll tell you IV compazine made me crazy. I had this compulsion to keep moving and it was horrible! I truly thought I'd lost my mind. Thank God for Cogentin. And though it may not truly be an allergy, you can bet I list it as one so I never get that awful stuff again.

Now because of JHACO, we are not allowed to inject anything in to a bag and give the drug slowly. I am able to push the med, but not put in in a bag....what kind of sense does that make? But that is another rant.
when was this banned per JHACO?
