Remicade -- Day 3 after 1st infusion

Hi all,

I started Remicade on Tuesday.  Yesterday was a pretty good day actually until the middle of the night when I threw up the little I ate for dinner and now I just feel nervous and frustrated.  I haven't beeen able to eat in a few months now and I wonder when the throwing up will stop

Did anyone feel better but throw symptoms continue -- and for how long.

 

I have only had 2 infusions so far but both times nausea lasted for about a week afterwards. The remicade patient pamphlet doesn't tell you that nausea and vomiting can be a side effect, but when I looked it up in the nursing drug book, it lists nausea and vomiting in italics which means it is the most common side effect. My Dr prescribed me phenergan. It works wonderfully.

I was on Remicade 3 1/2 yrs and never threw up. Call your dr. Susie
