mama4zach Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hello Everyone, With all the people on here who are or have received chemo, what anti nausea medicine worked for you. As for me, NOTHING WORKED............ I just wished we could at least find comfort from that. Please let me know if you have any meds that worked. Love and Prayers, Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Oh, Nancy. I am so sorry that you are suffering. Zofran worked for me. Have you tired that one? They now make a sublingual version that doesn't end up in the porcelain bowl if you get my drift. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellakc2 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi Nancy, Zofran ODT 8mg It's by GlaxoSmithKline. You put in on the tip of your tongue and it disolves in a few seconds. It worked great for me. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hi Nancy, I had Kytril in my premeds and also samples from my onc. This med is quite expensive.I was given a prescription for Compazine too, but never tried them. Hope you feel better... Good Luck God Bless and prayers, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy B Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hi Nancy, Zofran worked for me, Kytril didn't. I hope you find something - you shouldn't have to be sick. God Bless, Nancy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Zofran here- 8 mgs. And with a nighttime Ativan (anti anxiety AND anti nausea) just on chemo nights.....I did just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 My wife took Zofran at first but it did not help much. She took Promethazine, which did work but also made her drowsy. Another way to help counter nausea is to eat a small snack every 2-3 hours to keep something on your stomach. That really helped Lucie.

kimmek Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 My mom had exactly the same responce to Zofran as Lucie, and she too found help with Promethizine. Mom preferred the drowsy to the naseau. Hope you find something that works for you, and brings you some relief quickly God Bless Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Zofran worked for me - Thank Goodness, nausea is one of the things about this illness I cannot deal with. Good Luck! Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Since I had problems with my vocal cords after surgery, I had a major bout of vomitting before chemo even started (was hospitalized for 5 days)so once chemo started they gave me tons of different antinausea drugs, Zofran 8 mg dexamethason 4mg Compazine (Prochlorper) 10mg Promethazine 25mg I know it sounds like alot......but I started with Zofran and then added others if any problems arose and kinda worked down the list. I was nauseated 1 time once throughout treatment and that was quickly remedied by the drugs. Good luck to you, Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
