You'll adjust to the drugs in a few days. Ativan is also commonly used for an anti-emetic also. Chemo does a number on the stomach lining and pH in the stomach so perhaps industrial strength antiacids may help, such as Famatodine (Pepcid AC). Tell them you want a script in case your insurance pays for meds.
