I take promethazine only when needed, which has not been very often lately. I don't panic if there's none in the house though. Benadryl has similar effects as it has an antihistamine, which can act as an anti nausea/v. property as well. If I have neither, I still don't freak, so I guess I'm not addicted. I guess you could try Benadryl if you get desperate. It seems to work for me. But it's the plain kind..not the multi-symptom kind.


BTW, I knew someone who hadn't v'd in 20 years and she took some promethazine and still v'd, so i'ts not 100%. Still it can give you peace of mind.
