Nausea medicines

Zofran is controlling mom's nausea moderately.  Doctor added Compazine...it completely whacked her out.  She cannot take antihistamines because she climbs the wall and I think this Compazine worked the same on her as other meds.  She felt like her body would not stop moving...shaking inside...felt like her throat was closing up.  We were able to give her a dose of Ativan to settle her down and the doctor seems to definintely think she was having an adverse reaction to the medicine.  Any suggestions or medicines that anyone has found to work better?  She's freezing eating all the ice chips  :-)  But at least it helps control the "ickies" she has in her stomach.  I'm just so glad we are on day 5 of the chemo and then get that break.

Thanks

Those 2 drugs worked very well for me. In a few cases I had to take some liquid morphine or liquid codine. Sorry I couldnt help more. Bill

Layne took ginger as a supplement.  You have to ok that with your doc.  Ginger snaps and ginger ale worked well too.  He would start ginger and nausea meds about 3-4 days BEFORE chemo.

 used Emend on chemo day and following two days, also zofran every day...compazine as needed which was never since he tolerates it as well as your person. Ginger tea helps settle it, and he likes sleepytime too for a mild tea. Lots of fluid even though they don;t want it. Dehydration makes for more nausea.
