Hi Everyone,
I should maybe post on medication, but I wanted a answer sooner than later and thought this post would be viewed more often. Sarah my daughter has finished chemo for CNS Lupus that affected her brain mostly, has started Cellcept on March 5th. She was to take 250 mg once a day for three days, then 250 mg. twice a day for three days then 250 mg 3 times a day for three days, then move up to 500 mg twice a day.
Now here is my question, she started to take it but by mis take she was taking 250 mg once a day for 12 days then moved up 2 days ago to 250 mg. twice a day two days ago.(she had realized her mistake by this time) She ran out of meds so I picked up the next perscription which is a 500 mg. capsules. So she has worked up slowly which might not be a really bad thing so I phoned the fellow on call last night with our new delema.
She has been vomiting last night and has been extremely nauseated since she started taking 250 twice a day. She is not even up to the dose she should have been at. She has also had some trouble sleeping.
I read the side effects and know this can be it, the Doctor is to get back to me, but has not.
Does anyone have any insight, was anyone so nauseated that they were vomiting, or could this just be a case of Gasto. She has no other Gasto symptom.
Thanks in Advance
Sharon
