I also was given a script for Marinol, like $20 a pill!!, and I thought back to my post college days and just knew this would increase my appetite and decrease my nausea and maybe give me a little buzz at the same time....NOT...What a total waste of money and time. They didn't do any of the above. See if you can get a script for 3 or 4 and try them. lol
As I have said before I finally just stopped taking all my meds and the nausea went away but left me with a gag reflex that stayed with me for a month or so at least.
