Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Hi, I used to vomit very badly all the time....to the point that I lost 50 lbs in 3 months...was hospitalized and put on feeding tube. No anti-nausea med seemed to work. A friend who was going through chemotherapy was smoking marijuana for his nausea and suggested I try this. I did and it made me feel sooo much better...no more nausea and no need to vomit. There were the " high " side effects, but these were better than the nausea etc. All it took was a few puffs, so it wouldn't do too much to you mentally. My nausea/vomiting has drastically reduced over time (I think with the help of Lamictal -600mg/day-) and when I do feel badly enough I take a few puffs. My doc is fine with this...if it helps, why not? One of the other things I have learned is that when I feel the nausea/vomiting coming on, I do not eat or drink and that seems to help. Good luck, Winand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 If you have truly been vomiting that long, I hope you are also getting IV fluids so you don't get dehydrated. Tigan is what does the trick for me, so instead of that, I don't know what to suggest.
