Perchloroperazine

Learned two things when trying to solve my nausea problem.

  1. Perchloroperazine, the main nausea medicine they give me for chemotherapy induced nausea, has two other common uses. The first is as an anti anxiety medication, the second as an antipsychotic used to treat bipolar patients. I was at therapeutic doses for both.

  2. Every other claimed health benefit of cannibis might be nonsense, but it really does work for nausea.

From the comments

James Petrosky: I should say, my dose was equivalent to the therapeutic dose over the days I took it, which is 3-5 days. Not properly therapeutic. I can't even say for certain it leveled me out, but it feels like it had an affect.
