Dont take your pills with coffee then take it with some FOOD that contains fat if you can. On the days I couldn't eat I forced myself to have a yogurt shake at least - it helped with the pill nauseau a lot to have food with it believe it or not.

And yes Zofran or Compazine should help you if you dont/cant smoke pot.

i just started on zofran for nausea today and altho i am not ravenous i am not about to vomit which is an improvement. many folks suggested marijuana and u may consider that as i recall it sure used to be an appetite stimulant. as for energy; your blood work may hold the answer to part of that. i believe that tx causes fatigue but this is surely exacerbated if you are anemic and there are drugs to boost that and thus give back a bit of spark. good luck, babs
