>>>> hmmm... would you have developed akathisia from those meds?
>>> No, I would have developed a considerable medical bill and it is unlikely you find 5HT3 blockade medication outside of chemotherapy treatment, because of its extreme expense of manufacture because of its low volume use and supply and demand.
>> aren't some of the benzos like Lorazepam antiemetics too, or are they ineffective by comparison?
> Lorazepam alone I think would be ineffective, but you are correct, there are citations of lorazepam being used adjunctively with medications including 5HT3 blockade agents.
>Sometimes scopolamine transdermally is used.
tonight i'll have a ginger beer and skip the potatoes well at least any sprouting ones, eggplants, tomatoes, and peppers.
