Is it absolutely needed to have antiemetics for SN? I keep reading of people vomiting regardless.
Is it absolutely needed to have antiemetics for SN? I keep reading of people vomiting regardless.
I also have access to antipsychotics (latuda) but I am unsure if it will be a sufficient antiemetic. There seems to be no guidelines for how much to take and how soon before the SN.I have access to an antipsychotic (Quetiapine) but it's slow release and I don't normally take it, will this work as an AE? I know Stan's guide mentions it, but don't know if it'll work when you don't take it regularly.
Well yea but my questions is if the antiemetic helps in any way and if so will it help make it more likely that I will die.any of these could happen, who can say which will apply to you:
- take AE which prevents vomit
- take AE and vomit anyway
- dont take AE and dont vomit
- dont take AE and vomit
Yeah I'm confused as to whether or not you can just take a stat dose or if this is a thing where you have to be on the medication for many months in order for the anti emetic effects to workI'm wondering the same thing as I'm having trouble getting hold of meto. Stan's guide says olanzipine can be used as an AE (I'm on it as a regular medication) but doesn't specify the amount needed. I think without it you're more likely to vomit
Do you know for how long you need to fast?Not absolutely needed but the chance to vomit becomes significantly higher
Metoclopramide is recommended
Also fasting
Read the sn megathread method guideDo you know for how long you need to fast?
Good to read guide.. ideally 8 hours on water only plus 2 hours of no water. (Except what you need for pills).Do you know for how long you need to fast?
Just completed my blood test on SN and it looks good. Thinking about CTB tonight if I find myself at the "end of my rope" so to speak pending some results today.
I'm also going to be taking ginger as an antiemetic and famotidine as an H2 blocker. I've done some research into ginger, and some papers have recently come out that shows it has a central dopamine blocking effect at the 18 hr mark. It has about the same effect as metoclopramide in preventing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients (which causes central vomiting) according to some studies. According to other studies, if taken in combination with another anti-emetic, it can actually make it worse. The ginger responds in a dose-dependent way, which means that the optimal dose is around 1g according to cancer studies. In their study they started 3 days prior, which I may or may not do.

I've been reluctant to talk about this because the last thing I want is to influence someone to CTB when they are on the fence. I don't want to have anyone else's death be influenced by me. But these are the results I've found, and I think it's worth discussing.
