Marinol for Nausea Anyone?

Has anyone had success using Marinol to control nausea? I am on weekly carboplatin, abraxane and herceptin and find the nausea is pretty bad for the 48-72 hours after infusion. I have been smoking marijuana to control it and it takes the nausea away immediately and lasts for about 2 hours - but I hate the smokey smell and it's not always practical to light up (i.e when the kids are home from school). But it works better for me than compazine. Now my onc suggests I try the marinol and says I will not get the euphoria. I so don't want to take another pill, but if it will work, I'm willing to try it. Anyone having success with this?
