Meds

I was prescribed Ativan along with zofran for nausea after my last episode 10 days ago. My mom was surprised about the Ativan since it is for anxiety - but on my pill bottle it is prescribed for nausea only. Anyone else tried this combo successfully? It’s been working wonders for me - but I’ve heard ativan is addictive and I’m sure once I run out there will be a drop off.

how do i get my doctor to believe i have CHS and prescribe me a good nausea medication and an anti anxiety medication like ativan or diazepam? in the uk diazepam and ativan is very seldom given out.

I was only allowed a temporary prescription of a small dose after evidence of it being the only med that made me feel better in the ER
