I hope you don't mind, but I will answer that question as well, even though I'm not CheeryColleen. As for the nausea, I've heard of Zofran, but have yet to try it. When I feel sick on the Meropenem, I tend to lay down for a while (I sleep more when on it, not sure if that's a side effect or just because I feel lazy haha), and maybe sleep. I've been taking a lot of Ibuprofin because some of my nausea seems to stem from headaches. So if I can dumb down the headache, the nausea goes with it. But either way, although it does nauseate me, more of what it does seems to be just completely stripping me of my appetite. I've never had a huge problem gaining weight, so that's not an issue for me. So when on it, if I don't feel like eating, I don't eat. I still eat every day, but a lot less than when I'm not on Meropenem.
Even though I'm nauseous on it, during the two weeks, there are a few things that always sound good. Last time I lived on Junior Mints. I ate boxes at a time. This time it's been a few things. I've been drinking a lot of Carnation Instant Breakfasts. Also, during the first week, I was dying for Outback Steakhouse (oh man their cheese fries are THE best). So earlier this week I asked my mom to fund a trip for me and Mike, and she did, so we went. I pigged out on cheese fries, onion soup, garlic mashed potatoes, and prime rib. I also have had a craving for teriyaki chicken. But the other thing I might suggest (though certainly not in traditional smoking form) would be pot. Someone I know recently gave me pot brownies when I was feeling less than hungry, and as per always with weed, I got the munchies. I ate until I was so full it hurt. Hahaha.
