Krista,
I had the problem with the decadron on the first three days especially after my 1st round. I just did not sleep and as for being wired.... OMG! When i went in for the second round I had already read some of the suggestions from this board and asked for ativan. I have found that for the first 5 days, it gives me the sleep I NEED, and feel much better for taking it. My decadron dose was so high the 2nd and 3rd times I needed to increase the the ativan the day of treatment. I was taking 8mg the day before, and the day after, but had 36mg the day of... no wonder I was wired. Days one, three, four and five... I just took one. It really made all the difference in the world. I am not sure if they decreased the dose on 4 and 5... I will ask when I go for #6 and may I add my LAST one YAHOOOOOO!
Keep a positive attitude and get plenty of fluids, and make sure you eat. Rest of course as needed.
I am sending you "experienced" positive energy.... Keep the faith!
Melinda
