I am so glad you are trouble shooting what it could be about your existing routine that might be contributing to how awful you feel. I hope so some changes and the temporary dose adjustment gets rid of your nausea.
I know we are supposed to take the Riba with a small amount of fat but somewhere along the way I guess I got out of the habit of doing that. So here I am taking all these different antihistamines and antiemetics to treat the sides and it could be because I am not eating. I think your doctor's theory about a "loop" makes sense. And maybe what you are doing could be considered breaking the cycle.
I hope you post again to let us know if this worked and how you are feeling. I know it must have been overwhelming feeling sick and not being able to focus and I am glad you feel more optimistic. ♫
Yes, I totally agree with your Hepa Doc, about the not eating food with Riba cycle, and nausea. I noticed this, very early on, in Tx. It is VERY important to take the Riba with food, the more nutritious, the better!
It was good detective work, on both you and your Docs' part, to figure out that yr week-end of traveling started the nausea cycle~
I'm glad that a solution has been found, good luck~
FYI: Hepa seems to think that we can get caught in a loop with the Riba and nausea. He tells me that if we forget to take it with food more than a couple of times in a row, the nausea and vomiting can start and this begins a loop: nausea and vomiting stop

No -one here is walking in the OP.s shoes ,however it seems many here have given excellent advice as usuall that also seemingly correlates with what his doctor has advised.
Hope you are well..

No one on this site is walking in your shoes. 36 weeks is a longtime. Do what you feel you must.
Wow. Scary indeed. Great to hear the nausea and vomitting has subsided for now. Hope you'll be able to complete tx to give you the best chance for SVR. You'll soon be into the single digits and the weeks will click away. You're not too far from eot. You certainly wouldn't be the first who's had to stop early due to major complications if that has to happen. Wish you the very best carring forward.
