Zofran

[Guest guest]

I was recently switched from compazine to Zofran for nausea. Unfortunately

I've now lost my appetite, making me think I might not be on a strong enough

dose of Zofran. I'm taking 4 mg. Is anyone else taking it, and if so, how

much are they taking? I've lost about 5-6 pounds in less than 2 weeks.

Hi! I am new to this group. My daughter takes Zofran 4mg. as

needed for cyclic vomiting syndome (they think she has it). What is the

nausea caused from? was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis at

the age of 3, then Portal hypertension at the age of 8, she is almost

10 and now they are questioning the autoimmune hepatitis because she

hardly has any scarring, but her lfts are always elevated. She recently

has had another biopsy (with a new doctor - livertransplant doc from U

of M)and has told us that she has psc, and now active signs of AIH.

Anyways, do you start throwing up and can't stop until you take

compazine or zofran? That is how is. Could this be because of

the psc and not cyclic vomiting syndrome? If the bile ducts back up can

that cause you to start throwing up???

I don't know the answer to that, but I have PSC and

when I do start vomiting, it is constant every 10-15

minutes until I get Zofran down my system.

Hi ,

I'm so sorry to hear what your daughter is going through. I guess I've been

sick most of my life so it really pains me to hear that there are young

children out there battling PSC & AIH & UC. I've never heard of cyclic

vomiting syndrome, so I couldn't say if your daughter has it. It can take

years for a diagnosis of PSC, so it's possible your daughter has had this

for some time.

As to what causes the nausea, I'm not sure, but I think it's the PSC.

However it could also be due to one of the medicines I'm taking. I've had

nausea for 2-3 years now, and have been taking compazine for probably 2

years. I was recently switched to Zofran, 4 mg. I'm supposed to take the

Zofran every day, once a day. I haven't been throwing up, but unfortunately,

I'm still qweezy most of the time, and have no appetite, so it's hard to eat

anything. If your daughter is throwing up, she should probably be on either

compazine or Zofran on a regular basis so she doesn't throw up. She may not

be able to articulate the qweeziness or nausea. I do sometimes regurgitate

in my mouth a little, but I stop from actually throwing up. Sometimes this

happens with virtually no warning, so I imagine the same may be happening

with your daughter, except she really throws up.

Is your daughter's spleen enlarged? My son's was so big it was pushing on his stomach which gave him nausea. Good luck. Martisauceycakes wrote: Hi! I am new to this group.
