The Zofran is not working! I slept 4 hours Wednesday night before the stomach pain and indigestion made me set up. May have slept another hour while setting up. Last night was the worst. I slept until 1:30, then the nausea, gas and pain set in. Tried to prop myself up with extra pillows, just didn’t work. Tossed and turned until about 3:30, then got up and sat up in a chair until morning.
Called Dr Young’s office and described what is going on. He cut my Diamox in half and called in a prescription for Promethazine, which I will try tonight.
Promethazine is a first-generation antihistamine of the phenothiazine family. The drug has anti-motion sickness, antiemetic, and anticholinergic effects, as well as a strong sedative effect and in some countries is prescribed for insomnia when benzodiazepines are contraindicated.
