I have cyclic vomiting syndrome and I've been hospitalized around 5 times this last month, completely unable to keep down ANYTHING even water. I have had these episodes of nausea and vomiting since childhood and the only thing that helps is hot showers and IV Ativan when I'm hospitalized, which is a lot.
Well one of the doctors at Duke put me on Elavil during my last admission and since I started taking it I have seen like a 90 percent improvement in my symptoms. The only side effect is some mild dizziness and dry mouth. I've tried so many medicines, Scopolamine patches, zofran, promethazine, diclegus, reglan, and this is actually an antidepressant but it has pretty much cured my nausea
I hope this helps someone else with CVS!!
