Your next dose should be cut back and dont be surprised to see your third dose eliminated. Ask your doc if its possible to switch you to the weekly method as you are already struggling with this and its not even 24 hours later. My advice is to drink extra water to flush it out of your body as quick as possible. Try zofran and decadron for the nausea. I think they even have strong shots available you can get to help with the nausea (sorry I forget the name of the medicine but its a shot).
PS... I will update your signature for you since you feel so bad. So sorry you are sick!!!!
