You need to call your doctor. People on this forum are not doctors.
If you are taking Zofran and still throwing up... call your doctor now.
I can cope with the pain, no matter how difficult it is, I can cope with the nausea, even if I have to stay in my corner for 12 weeks, but what do you do when you throw up. I kid you not, first time I put both my hands on the mouth trying to stop it, taking long breaths, but I nver experienced such a violent reaction. It was a huge pressure, nothing I could have done about it. I really erdecorated the walls in the toilet :) Luckily is washable paint
when i started the incivek, i though i could eat an avocado with each dose. i liked avocados and they are healthy, but i quickly became nauseated after eating one. so then i would switch to another food, which after a while would make me nauseated. i used advocate's technique, and wandered through the supermarket looking for high fat foods that i thought i might be able to hold down. cheese, greek yogurt, bacon, eggnog, aged beef, ice cream are some of the things i could stomach. i somehow made it to 10 weeks when the docs finally pulled me off incevik due to the rash. reading other people's experiences on the forum was helpful, because i knew from what others reported that it was going to be rough. so i tried to take the long view. obviously vomiting is hard on the esophagus, but in the end i thought it would be worth it.

It sounds like you might be in a bit of a nausea cycle (e.g. you're nauseous, you eat, you take your meds, your stomach turns, you're nauseous and it starts over). I wonder if it would help to take your Zofran every 8 hours as prescribed not only to control the nausea, but also to prevent the nausea. I would try that, just take it as often as it's prescribed, eat a little something before you take your meds to try to settle your stomach, and make sure that you eat something when you take your Riba and eat the fat food when you take your Incivek. Make sure you are drinking enough water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can contribute to nausea.
As OH said, anything with ginger: ginger tea, raw ginger, and candied ginger all helped my husband's nausea. Candied ginger is available in Asian markets.
You might also try a wider variety of foods (smells, tastes, textures) to see if they go down/stay down better. Be sure to get the proper grams of fat with the Incivek though.

I agree With orpanedhawk eat so mauch as you can and then somemore
as with every type of medication that effects humans like this doctors and Pharmasists say you must take this with food,well with what your taking try to eat to the macks,little time to settle then down the hatch cuase they desolve into the food and has a harder for your body to directly reject it because it does want nourishment,thats my 2 cents hope you try it.
Thank you Eric, I tried to call them and they were closed !!! is an 8am-8pm service and will reopen on Mon. So really I had 3 full doses, number 4 was puked after 4 hours and number 5 after 3 hours. So it is on the verge!!! Oh well, I will have to go with what the doctor said and have faith that someone up there is on my side
