Cyclizine
Cyclizine is an antihistamine drug used to treat nausea, vomiting and dizziness associated with motion sickness, vertigo and post-operatively following administration of general anaesthesia and opioids.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.
Medical uses
Nausea, vomiting and dizziness associated with motion sickness, vertigo and post-operatively following administration of general anaesthesia and opioids. It is sometimes given in hyperemesis gravidarum, although the manufacturer advises that it be avoided in pregnancy. Off-licence use often occurs with specialists in hospitals to treat inpatients who have become severely dehydrated in pregnancy. An off-label use is as an opioid/opiate potentiator.
The drug Diconal is a combination of cyclizine with the opioid dipipanone. Dipipanone is a schedule I controlled substance in the US, due to its high abuse potential.
Contraindications
Its antimuscarinic action warrants caution in patients with prostatic hypertrophy, urinary retention, or angle-closure glaucoma. Liver disease exacerbates its sedative effects.

Seclusion
by: Moonlight AwakeningWhat I see, what I feel
Will I try, will I kneel?
We're out there, and I fear
Will I find anything again?
Will I see what you see?
Will I bleed what you bleed?
We're out here, and I feel
I will find everything the same
Please, just hear me
..."I try to"
Just hear what I have to say
So I can run to where you are
So I can understand this time
So I can run to where you are for one more time.
So I can take into my heart
All the world and all the stars
So I can see for what it's worth for one more time.
What I see, what I feel
A picture that's not real
A symptom of our hope
And all emotions turned to stone.
If I need what you need
Then why can't we just be?
We're out here, and I fear
We'll never find our way again.
You don't hear me
..."I try to"
Just hear what I have to say.
and I will run to where you are
So we can understand this time
and I will run to where you are for one more time.
So I can take into my heart
All the world and all the stars
