Hi there,
I just started my first cycle of BEP and had an absolute nightmare as the week progressed and went into the weekend. Aside from taking the chemo rather harshly, my anti-nausea meds are causing some side effects of their own. Compazine agitates to me the point of pacing up and down the halls of my apartment for hours on end. Ativan made me vomit the first 2 times I took it. Could very well be an unavoidable coincidence but it also gives me paranoia and terrible dreams. Zofran has also caused me bad stomach cramps. It made Thursday thru Sunday near death. I lost 26 pounds from day 1 to day 8!
I've been fortunate enough now to be placed on Emend for the next cycle and was wondering what, if any, were others experiences with it. I know my reactions to my meds is very rare but I am holding out all hope that this Emend stuff is as much as a miracle drug as I've heard it proclaimed on other sites.
Cheers and one love!
