Anyone else taken Stemetil (prochlorperazine) for morning sickness?

I’ve just come off it after about 3 weeks of taking it and experiencing what might be withdrawal symptoms. Before I was on cyclizine which didn’t do anything and I also felt very low. The stemetil was great and I was feeling 95% myself, it really lifted my mood as well. Since coming off I’ve discovered it’s an anti-psychotic drug which explains how good I was feeling, but I now feel like I’m on a “come down” and don’t know if this will last forever.

Not only do I feel sick again but I feel anxious, nervous, and I’d go as far to say depressed. I want to go back on it but sort of don’t want to rely on this drug to make me feel good if you see what I’m saying. Is it best to stay off it now?

Confused and would appreciate advice.

I've taken this for morning sickness and it worked wonders but I came off it with no side effects whatsoever. I would discuss with your GP as I think they should probably know about this.

Stemetil is also used for depression, which might be why your getting withdrawal.
I take when not pregnant for menieres, but was told I couldn’t take it when pregnant. I’m now on cyclizine.
