Vomiting and sleep problems-Normal?

When I was on chemo my doctor prescribed me an anti-nausea medication called Emend. It was taken the day before, the day of, and the day after infusions. I was never nauseous (although it occasionally gave me a bad case of hiccups). Re: sleep, I also had difficulties with it. I was only able to sleep in short increments, and would often wake up in the middle of the night and be wide awake after only three or four hours of sleep. It was a strange combination of restlessness but feeling very tired at the same time.

His doctors gave him nausea pills to take one at 7 and then again at 11 the night before chemo. But his first treatment has been almost 3 weeks ago. He says he doesn't have nausea, he just gets the feeling that he is going to throw up and he does. He has hardly been eating at all the last three days. Well, the palliative care went ahead and ordered the trazadone and also remeron. He was on remeron before but they doubled the dose this time. I hope he sleeps tonight. HIs next chemo is on Thursday Jan 2. He does also have something for nausea so he doesn't think they will help. I told him to take them anyway. How are you doing today? Are you done with all your treatments? Well, God bless you and have a Happy New Year!
