I am the same person who had a difficult time getting the Droperidol filled in Houston. I finally did and early thisweek ahd occasion to use it. The pharmacist told me to take it in 15 minute increments once an attack begins. She also said in some people if you realize an attack is beginning it can lessen it if taken right away so I carry it with me all of the time. I had to take 2 doses before it kicked in but the nausea etc stopped. It made me extremely sleepy however and I slept for several hours. But that is a small price to pay for relief of the MD symptoms.

i find it interesting that a side effect of droperidol is agitation and combativeness. i am allergic to the usual medicine given for nausea which is phenergan because it causes me to be agitated and combative. once, while at a hospital many years ago, after a nasty vertigo attack, i told them not to give me phenergan and why, they gave me droperidol and it did the same thing. it did not make me sleepy at all!!! now i know why! i've never been offered droperidol before or since. it doesn't seem to be a very common drug. i have since found other nausea meds such as zofran and taigan that work well for me.
