My boyfriend had gotten the hiccups so bad as a side effect from the chemo he's on. So bad, in fact, he busted open his incision from a surgery over 3 months ago. The hospital gave him Thorazine,(it worked, but they didn't send him home w/ any) and then the dr. gave him something else. (which didn't work at all) I ended up having the dr. paged on a Sat. and he called in ativan, which u put under the tongue and dissolve. It worked better than the thorazine. Good luck to all that get these nightmare hiccups, I hope this helps.
