Had 1st round of chemo-- agitation and anxiety???
Had my first round of chemo on Friday (today is Monday) and yesterday I felt extremely jittery and anxious and like I was having panic attacks all day. It seemed to get worse after taking zofran. I took zofran and the compazine round the clock preventively all day Saturday and didn't have any of those feelings then. I woke up Sunday and took a zofran and then all morning felt on edge, jittery, shaky, and like I was having severe anxiety. Faded a little as the day when on then took another zofran 8 hrs later and it came back. Called my oncologist and he seemed to think it was the steroids and possibly the zofran interacting with the steroids too. Anyone else have this happen??? Am I going to feel this psychotic after every round? He said we may have to try some different anti nausea meds to figure it out but to avoid zofran for now to see if it helps. Im still jittery and shaky this morning but not quite as bad as yesterday.
This was not at all what I expected to feel like. Is this from the steroids??
