I cannot take compazine either.  It works fine for some, but not me.  It didn't help the nausea and it seemed to make me drowsy.  I also had a jittery edgy feeling with it.  If it causes trouble there are many others to try.  The first time I was on chemo the zofran seemed worthless. This last time I was on chemo the zofran helped alot, especially the meltaway tabs of it.  Marie

Hi Lillian,

I noticed that your mom will be getting Compazine for nausea.  I just wanted to give you a little heads up on that drug.  I took it while I was getting my first infusions and it gave me a terrible jittery feeling.  I kept taking it thinking it was the chemo, but it was not, it was the Compazine.  Finally I called the chemo nurse and she suggested a different drug which was much better for me.  This may not be a side effect that your mom gets but I did want you to be aware of it.  I waited too long to switch meds because I didn't know, and I suffered longer than I needed to.

Take Care
