Promethazine is a relatively safe drug, if you can tolerate the daytime drowsiness.I saw someone who was riddled with anxiety and being treated with Zyprexa unsuccessfully change over to promethazine (Phenergan) with great results. He didn't seem to be drowsy during the day, but perhaps this was idiosyncratic of his psychobiology.
