    I am still taking compazine
    I am still taking compazine and swear it is a drug from heaven...and I don't (or didn't) take drugs until this adventure. It takes the edge off the nausea and really does help. I take my first pill right when i wake up to "stay in front" of the nausea. Keep it in your purse in case you need it in a pinch. It worked and continues to work magic for me. Good luck! Pitt

(new primary). someone else here said they cut down on the dose and they were able to continue to take it. i took zofran and it made me constipated ativan helped me. after the meds you take amend, decadron, I really didint need to much. Ihad more lower Gi issues.

    I didn't get CHEMO, but I
    I didn't get CHEMO, but I have been through the mill with my new dx of Celiac. First they thought maybe I had C-Diff, that was negative 3 times, then they took my off my proton-pumps(Aciphex) and put me on Zantac and previcid. My heartburn came back terrible, so I can relate to you chemo gals and the nausea. I has hospitalized for dehydration for 6 days from the nausea nd vomiting and diarrhea, They gave me ZOFRAN (iv) it works great, it probably comes in a pill form also. But I had no problems with it, I did with compazine pills. Best of luck.

    I'm thinking what next! I have to go back to my RADS starting today, I was able to keep my time slot, today I'm going in a bit later so I have time to get myself together. Between my lumpectomy in July and now this1 ARRGH

    Thanks, I still have that
    Thanks, I still have that rumbling in my stomach and plumbing, it's so loud sometimes my hubby can hear it and laughs. It is a weird feeling. But in a way I can now relate more to what you gals on chemo are dealing with when I had the nausea. It sure ain't no picnic! I'm praying for all of you for a total recovery! ((((Hugs))) Cancer really sux.

    I've had 2 rounds of chemo
    and used the compazine both times. The first round only needed it as a backup on the 2 days I took the Emend. However, this last one I needed it for a couple more days. It did give me constipation and a jittery feeling. I ended up having to take more ativan than I had the first time. I'm going to ask about something different for this next time. I know that I didn't quite eat right this last time. If I keep a little something in my stomach (6-8 small meals per day) I actually feel better. Good luck with the rest of your chemo. Lola
