I've been using Glycerin Adult 2gm Suppositories for a while now, and while they work great for quick relief, I'm starting to worry about long-term use. The package doesn't mention anything about prolonged use, and I've been having some unusual side effects like rectal irritation and burning sensations. Has anyone else experienced this? I've also read vague warnings about severe side effects, but nothing specific. Should I be worried? How often is too often to use these? I'd love to hear from people who've used them for a long time, or if anyone knows of safer alternatives for regular use. Thanks in advance!

I've been prescribed Promethazine 12.5mg Suppositories for severe nausea, but I'm a bit hesitant about using them. I've heard they can make you feel sleepy, which is fine, but I'm also worried about some of the more serious side effects listed, like respiratory problems or neurological symptoms. Has anyone else used them? What was your experience like? How long did it take for the suppositories to start working? How long did the effects last? Any tips on how to insert them comfortably? I've heard they can be a bit messy and uncomfortable. I've also heard they can be quite effective for nausea and vomiting, but I'm still a bit nervous about trying them. Any advice or shared experiences would be much appreciated!
