Keep a close eye on your blood pressure. I take blood pressure meds and as soon as I started Cisplatin my b.p. dropped like a stone. That in itself caused me huge problems as I fainted several times (had the shiner to show for it) and felt weak and dizzy. Had we gotten that under control, I think I would have felt better.

What anti nausea meds are they giving you? Mine worked well. They are expensive, but well worth it. There are several options - make sure you ask if any of them cause "agitation". I took one for awhile (can't remember the name) that made it impossible for me to sit still. I had to be constantly moving or rocking - drove me and everyone around me nuts.

Good luck. You can get through this - stick with it.
