@tomrennie did you start it before nausea symptoms or when you started having them. Doctors told me to only use when needed but I have seen so many using it before your nausea kicked in. How did you go about easing yourself off. Did the nausea stop?

@gc4217 I took it right from the start. I was already very sick. After my chemo med temozolomide was stopped and my capecitabine was reduced to 2000mg a day, I reduced zofran by taking one day off, then two days off, and so on. I eventually switched to a scopolamine patches, frequently used for motion sickness, for about six months. I then stopped nausea meds altogether. I still get nausea occasionally, but it usually comes with hunger. I eat something, then it subsidies.
