Lisa,

Bill had horrible, convulsing type hiccups as well after his first and second chemo and they would not go away. We mentioned this to the MO, who immediately prescribed the generic for...believe it or not....Thorazine...yes thorazine and also one for Reglan. They worked wonders and after he got rid of the those hiccups he took them a day before and day of each weekly chemo and never had problems after that.

See if you can get the MO to prescribe this and if not, ask one of the other docs. Unless you have experience these hiccups, you have no idea how miserable they are...disrupting sleep and everyday activities. Your MO needs to care!
