Relief from nausea

Posted by clutch @clutch, Dec 4, 2019

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!

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.

I think you, Brenda, and Mike, May have just shortened my drive to a good Gastro guy. I’ve been going all the way from the Delaware coast to Northern VA for Gastro problems because once you set foot on the Eastern Shore of the DELMARVA healthcare quality drops off significantly. Luther villa is no further than western Baltimore, which is where I’m going to an orthopedic specialist. THANK YOU BOTH.
