Nausea meds

[crossroadsec]

The nausea is getting worse. Gag. :P dr mentioned something that started w an F. Gave me Phenergan but i didnt use it yet. Im so drowsy n e way.  I hate to add another drug. I haven't thrown up, but lay down a lot this weekend. Any advice on nausea meds? Xo Karen

Yes.  A pill is what I was given.  It can be used twice a day but if I used it in the morning I was good for the day.  Morning was worst for me as far as the nausea.

I'm glad you posted.  Is Zofran a pill, liquid or suppository?

You might want to ask your doc about Zofran (and I've heard there's a generic).  It really helped me on triple tx.  It's approved for cancer chemo and we had to struggle a bit with the insurance company but it kept me from gagging all the time : )  It doesn't cause drowsiness.

Here's the way I felt about tx:  do whatever it takes to get through.  I don't use a lot of pharmaceuticals but I was a veritable pharmacy during tx!  I still have some of those drugs left:  for nausea, diarrhea, heartburn.  Don't need them now, but they sure helped me get through tx and do my job, etc.

Good luck to you both!  It will get better when the Inc is finished.
