Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 , I completely understand the nausea being a disability...I can handle some nausea, but when it is full blown, I can't move either! I am so sorry that you are far from the Doctor/hospital. As for Zofran, I don't think it is a controlled substance. I like it because it doesn't cause the 'drowsy, dizzy, got to go to bed feeling' that Compazine causes me. I function at a human level better if Zofran can get ahead of the bad nausea. I will pray for you. I hope you can work something out. If I lived closer, I would drive you to the Doctor.
