has anyone ever used it for insomnia?

It is normally used for nausea, but does have sedating effects.  It has helped me sleep before.  I believe there is an antihistamine in it.

After reading the side effects, no one in their right mind should take it!  But that is only MY OPINION!

Be sure to read the side effects as Laura mentioned. Promethazine is the generic form of Phenergan. It was given to me for nausea. I also had a seizure while on it. No more of it for me. Ultra-ultra sensitive to medications.

Promethazine is a first-generation H1 receptor antagonist of the phenothiazine chemical class used medically as an antihistamine. It has a strong sedative effect and in some countries is prescribed for insomnia when benzodiazepines are contraindicated. It is available over the counter in the United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland, and many other countries, but by prescription in the United States (brand names Phenergan, Promethegan, Romergan, Fargan, Farganesse, Prothiazine, Avomine, Atosil, Receptozine, Lergigan, and Sominex in the UK).[1]

 

So on,...

It also caused Cervical Dystonia in me (similar to Tardive Dyskinesia), so I stay away from it now.
