Hi Brannyj8
Are you having steroids with your chemo? Mu hubby has 12 steroid tablets on his chemo day, and the 4 a day for the following 3 days. It is the steroids that stop him sleeping and grumpy lol. The doctor gives him small amounts of sleeping tablets and they help a bit, once the steroids wear off he sleeps a lot. Hope this helps a bit. Best wishes Chrisx
Yes I'm on steriods do you know what sleeping tablets he's got? I might ask if I could have the same.
thank you for replying
Hi you just need to ask doctor for sleeping tablets due to your steroids and he will give you what is suitable with your condition and meds. He only gives him small amounts at a time. Hubby has zopiclone 3.75 but he has other conditions and is in palliative care, you may need a different one.
Best wishes Chris.
P. S only take them on steroid days or you will get used to them. Good luck.
Thank you for your comments, means a lot! Will be asking my nurse so thank you! Hope everything goes well for you!
