Promethazine (Phenergan) is not an opioid. It is sedating, and a respiratory depressant by the same anticholinergic mechanism as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

This doesn’t mean it’s benign in all cases, but do try for accuracy.

You are absolutely right, I misread the subject of an aside in the article.

I’ll see if I can edit my comment, but I appreciate the correction either way.

Edit: I can’t, hopefully this will float up so people see it.

To err is human. No sin there. Plenty of opioid users like it to potentiate the effects, so you’re not too far off base.
