That drug is an interesting choice. It acts in a number ways. First it

is an antihistamine. That may reduce some inflammation in the esophagus

and calm it down. It is also an antiemetic (prevents nausea and motion

sickness) so it acts on part of the nervous system that responds to

stimulus in the stomach, and esophagus. It is also an anticholinergic

which means it calms muscles and weakens spasms. It is also a strong

sedative, so it does knock you out. It is also a weak antipsychotic so

if achalasia is driving you nuts maybe it helps.

Wow...I'm willing to try anything and will ask about this. I swear sometimes if

I owned a gun I would put myself out of misery during prolonged spasms. Thanks

for sharing.

Subject: Phenergan suppositories

 

My GI doctor wrote me phenergan suppositories to try when an episode of spasms

start to knock me out. NOOOO medication has really helped, so I was very

skeptical.

I have been using it for the past 2 months maybe, and it is REALLY working for

me. It doesn't just knock me out...it actually stops the spasms before it puts

me to sleep. The suppositories have a laxitive effect, but the doctor said

that's normal...and I don't care, as long as the pain stops.

I hope the benefits continue...I'm someone who gets a spasm attack that may last

anywhere from 3 hours to 36 hours. Maybe that's a thing of the past. Just

thought I'd let y'all know, in case there's someone else who might want to try

it.
