Nausea -

[Guest guest]

,

I never thought about that myself that the rise in Fentanyl would

cause such nausea.

This morning, I broke down and ate some toast. I am sicker than I can

imagine and I know that something that simple should not really cause

such great distress.

Zofran is an oral medication? I do have plenty of 25mg Compazine

suppositories (84) and will try them regularly to see whether or not

I can get relif from them. If not, then I will call my doctor for

Zofran.

Thank you so much.

>Anyse-

I vividly recall when I was first put on the patch while in the

hospital- I was sick to my stomach for three days. Then it settled

down. Everytime the dose changed (even when going lower) that

incredible nausea returned. I know that it is not the only cause, as

pancreatitis itself causes nausea, but without a doubt it aggravated

the problem for me. The Zofran I take now is oral but the hospital

staff gave it to me as an IV. It is extremely expensive so some

doctors believe most insurances will not cover it ( usually used

with cancer patients for chemo nausea). I got lucky- my insurance

covers it.
