I have been one the recieving end of phenergan IV, and yup....it hurts......and I only got 6.25mg. and it was diluted in 10cc, and given through a running IV, and still felt like my arm was on fire, and did have a phelbitis for a looong time after. But it did stop my postop projectile vomiting

So now I ALWAYS dilute it, and give it sllooow, and tell patients that this is gonna hurt...........And I have also seen it make that sweet lol get way weird and sometimes hallucinate or get very confused and disoriented.........Will ask doc for something else for the elders.
