Lynn, like you, I rarely take medication. I haven't had cisplatin but had a nasty cocktail of chemo drugs with similar side effects. A combination of Ativan, Zofran, and Compazine is what it took for me. I was hospitalized so the nurses kept track of the times I could have each - I just had to tell them when I had the first hint of queasiness (constantly on many days). My recall is hazy but I think it ranged 3-6 hours, alternating. The Ativan might've been every 6-12 hours. Anyway, the three seemed to work synergistically to accomplish what they couldn't do singly. Ask how they can be combined. Don't make yourself vomit! It will only make things worse with non-stop dry heaves and you need all the nutrition you can get.

You can get through this, horrible as it is now. I feel for you.
