Evening all, 

I've been prescribed this in case of nausea with paclitaxel ashma hands just checked the side effects. I know everything we take has scary side effects,  so wondered if any of you could tell me his fou found it? 

I'm on day 1 of weekly paclitaxel, and so far the antihistamine made me feel terrible all afternoon (also had 8mg steroids instead of the 12mg for EC and one domperidone tablet as premed and had them all before). I've an upset fizzy  tummy now with (sorry!) the start of diarrhoea, and feel a bit dizzy with wobbly legs so deciding if I need it.

    Hi 

    Sorry I usually loiter in other rooms but sore your post. I am on Cyclizine too and for me the only side effect it has had is it can make you a bit constipated (I take senna to conteract this). I am weary of medications as often I get side effects.

    Though feeling as you do, would it be worth you contacting the chemotherapy help line to discuss with them?
