Other Answers:
As far as I know, it's not. It is commonly used for nausea, but has a very unfavourable side effect of causing extreme drowsiness.

If you are using Phenergen (promethazine) for reasons other than nausea, like for a sleep-aid, then you could become dependent on it. Otherwise, it's not appealing/fun to be heavily sedated for 12 hours at a time (sure takes care of the nausea though!).

It can be. To solve the problem, use suppositories.

First promethizine or otherwise known as Phenergan was first invented to treat schizophrenia. Later it was found to treat cough, headaches, and nausea much better.

It is possible with prolonged use to become physically dependent. An addiction implies abuse and a pyschological desire to have the effects of the drug, and with that just about any medicine can be addictive.
