Hi Sammyjane, My son has has a lot of nausea. We've tried many prescriptions including Reglan, Zofran, Phenergan, Zofran and Phenergan together, hydroxyzine, dramamine, Antivert, ginger, and compazine. Taking 50mg of hydroxyzine usually helps but it knocks him out for a couple of hours so I'm trying to find a better alternative. Sometimes nothing helps and he throws up. I was going to ask his doctor for something else to try on Wednesday. We've also tried something called a Releif Band which is electronic and stimulates the pressure points on the correct place on his arm. They make the "sea bands" or travel bands to wear on the wrists at the nausea pressure points. He just started using an electronic acupuncture device on the wrist nausea points today. I'll let you know if that works. So far he has not had any more nausea today. |
"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
