I had to go off the dexamethasone as I experienced agitated depression a few days after. It was a lot of crying and pacing. In the end they gave me just 8mg dex with my three FEC cycles and I had no prob as they also prescribed a one off tablet that was for nausea and was to last 7 days. It worked. Must say I have had no nausea or vomiting at all during chemo but every other bloody thing under the rainbow! Neutropenia x 2, blood clots in lung and leg, pneumonia, chronic pain in armpit scar from axillary clearance ... and of course, constipation followed by diarrhoea. Cancer ... the gift that keeps on giving!
