Relief from nausea
I have been tapering klonopin,switched to valium, for a year now. Have come a ways but still have a way to go. Nausea was one of the biggest issues, with resultant appetite and weight loss.
Tried the usual Rx (zofran, phenegran, compazine), and also ginger and CBS tincture. None worked over time. So I was lucky to get myself referred to a Symptom Specialist at Duke. He prescribed 15 remeron and 2.5 mg zyprexa. This was too sedating, so I cut these back to a tolerable dose, taken at night. The combination works better than anything I've tried.
If I have episodes during the day, I take .625 mg. zyprexa. Appetite and weight have improved.
Hope this will help someone else who is in "nausea hell".
Would like any feedback. Thanks!

I have authorized all my medical records be released to him.
He has helped me his office is very nice and he listened to what I tell him and if you are having issue’s you can call him and he call you back. Have had a lots of test
And has showed thing’s that were wrong I still have flare ups
But not as bad
After 4 years I'd drive that far if I thought the Dr could help me. Good luck
Thanks so much. My daughter will drive with me. I have a niece and family in Annapolis so I will get to visit with them.
Just 56 miles away.
The supplements I got my mom is called Gut Alive. It's on Amazon. She's been on it for two days and says she is feeling a reduction in the acid burn and she's been able to eat solid food today without vomiting for the first time in a week. I'll update as she continues to take the supplement. So far so good.
Have you tried off-label olanzapine? Can be used in conjunction with mirtazapine, also off-label, to help with nausea and low appetite.
