It’s so hard being nauseous all the time and hard to eat anything. Xanax helps a little bit . I’m on 3000 milligrams a day. Do you think the dr. Can change the dosage if Nausea continues . Ugh I hate the cold sensitivity. Feels like I have something in my throat and I keep forgetting about that first bite . Any advise I really appreciate it
You should not have to put up with nausea. Did they give you anti-nausea meds to take? My oncologist gave me Phenergan, Zofran and Ativan to have on hand to use as needed. During one cycle none of those worked for me, so the PA called in a prescription for Compazine. I started at 4000mg/day and had my dose reduced twice throughout due to side effects. Call your oncologist and let them know. Make sure you get some medication to help the nausea.
