Re: Sleepness nights after chemo
You are correct that Ativan is technically not an anti-nausea drug. Some cases of nausea and vomiting are partly psychological. The patient remembers past nausea and vomiting and
anticipates the next round. Mind can be stronger than body sometimes. Even if they are premedicated with say Zofran or Kytril they still feel nausea with the chemo. Yes Ativan is very much like Valium. They both belong to a class of chemicals called Benzodiazepines. This class includes Xanax, Dalmane, Klonopin etc etc
