I am taking Zofran 8mg 3x a day. I don't vomit, but I am constantly nauseated. I smell food and feel nausea. I asked for another med;RO says this is the strongest one and did not prescribe anything. Is is possible to control nausea. Should I ask for something else even if it's not as strong and experiment?

In the emergency, someone prescribed Compazine but he was not my doc and I did not try it yet? I also heard of Reglan and Ativan combo. Should I try these.

Well you are on the maximum dose of Zofran so the RO is probably right. Some of the things that Jack found helpful - he was on Zofran twice a day - was to use compazine in between for breakthrough nausea. I wouldn't stop the zofran but see if they will give you a prescription to add to it. There's supposed to be some benefit from Ativan as well - plus it kept him calmer.

Mostly we found that getting outside, even to sit on our stoop was helpful. There was something about going outside that settled his nausea. Some days he walked around the block, other days just down the driveway and back.

Smells from food bothered Jack too and we used ginger to help. Just opened up the jar and smelled that.

Hope you feel better.

Hello trt, I hope you find something that works. I used the promithezine at first and it didn't work so I went to the generic zofran, ordanestron. It has worked very well. I take it as soon as I get up in the am. I remember reading alot of post where people used combos because one would not sustain a full day without nausea. You may check out the archives to see if there is anything in there. Sorry I couldn't be more help. But I am rooting for you. I remember being very dicouraged for about a week trying to find something that would work. Hang in there. Lee

I am getting the Scopolamine patch. Anyone try that?

Hey, trt- hope scopolamine works for you. It sent John into outer space. Amy in the Oz.

Scopolamine is good for nausea, but be aware it is also used in some clinical settings to dry up excess secretions. If your mouth is not already dry, this may be a good drug for you. If it IS dry, it may get drier.
