Zofran as an anti-emetic

[Boochky]

Hi,

I'm on 3 anti-psycotics and I can't stop taking them or I won't sleep. I've read threads on here about Zofran as an alternative, but I can't find the dose. Does anyone have this information?

Thank you!

Common doses of Zofran are 4-8mg. 8 mg is on the higher end of dosages such as if someone was in the hospital vomiting uncontrollably from food poisoning. It is taken up to 3 times a day. Please be aware it causes headaches.

Thank you. So would 8 mg work as a stat dose?

Zofran is a Serotonin blocker, notably a 5-HT3 antagonist, and has been suggested as a compliment, but I think a dopamine blocker is also required. Check the Wikibooks article on antiemetics :

Right, that's what I was wondering why it was suggested if it would be used alone. I get the impression it is meant in addition to the regiment in the PPeh by the way it was worded. I've taken it plenty of times and it is effective for active nausea and vomiting so I'm uncertain it would work the same.
