Ativan

[KWT]

Apparently the nurse was speaking out of turn the doc just gave me a script for a months supply. Phew I was getting nervous I was gonna have to go downtown

Glad to hear you got your script. I thought you might have to head down to the medical dispensary for some Super Silver Haze

How will that go with the gardenia kush and the deathstar

Delinda I didn't know washington was so tough,chemo is the strongest drug I've ever done.

I agree that its crazy that doctors won't give you more, especially with a stage iv diagnosis. I just got a prescription for Ativan. I use it on infusion days as I have nausea just thinking about the chair. I don't really like how it makes me feel, but it definitely calms me down. I find mmj is better for calming me down and making me happy

I'm on the xeloda this week so haven't even enjoyed a cold one after finding that surgery and SBRT didn't really get me where I want to be I'm having to readjust to the cancer thing. Before I had a plan. Now not so much.


My friends back home that work in the medical field refer to people like me as "seekers" lmao

though I guess some of the lyrics are a bit too real.

I never knew it was an anti-nausea medicine until I started the up-front work on my upcoming clinical trial. The research nurse said if the anti-emetic we give you does not work we can give you Ativan. I said..hmmmm..maybe not a good idea as I get loopy on that stuff.

I have a bottle of Ativan and basically never use it. I too am made loopy by it. With my recent back injury I have also rediscovered how much I hate flexeril. It works - but it really zones me out.

It took me eight years to realize Ativan is good for nausea. None of the usual nausea meds work for me (Zofran, Kytril). I read on hear a while back about Ativan for Nausea. I had some in my stash so I thought what the heck. cant make matters much worse. It took most of the nausea away and as you said it makes you dopey which is fine with me. I always said I just wanted to sleep through treatment until the worst of it was over with.

When I was first diagnosed the onc nurse told me to take an Ativan before I went to bed to prevent morning nausea. It makes me sleepy so it worked as a sleep aid too. But it was great for the nausea, especially on those rough days following infusions.

I just use the nausea for an excuse, I like the way it makes me feel


But it does work for nausea.

Kenny,

I saw the Who in Oakland, CA way back when at age 20. They Rocked! My ears rang for over a week. The LOUDEST concert I have ever seen over the years - huh I thought the ringing in my ears the last 2 years was from chemo, maybe the Who is the culprit!

Yes I am a Who fan!

Yep, we had great music!! Kenny, check out King Crimson and Mark Almond...

I call that Half'a'Who

[Delinda]

King Crimson! Oh my gosh, haven't heard that in a hundred years! Instantly flashed on some great memories from back in the day. I used to be a naughty girl... Actually, she's still in there, I've just gotten smarter. Sigh.
