    I have not. Is there a reason you can't try odenestran? I spelled that wrong, but those work well for me.

    Ive tried it , it gives me wicked headaches. I popped on a patch…so far no nausea, but no appetite either. My eyes are wonky. And i feel a bit unsteady. But thats ok, todays a couch day for me. Pump gets removed tomorrow. How are you doing on your new regime?

    Scopolamine worked well for me. I put it on just before or at the start of my chemo infusion and it helped a lot. I started having dizziness 4-6 days after my infusion and changing the patch after 3 days, (instead of just taking it off and only using one for the first 3 days like I did originally) made all the difference. No more dizziness!
