Is Prochlorperazine Such a Good Idea?

You lose a lot of salt when vomiting, and conventional wisdom states this isn’t really a good thing, especially if there’s a lot of sickness. But the revelation over my possible salt intake started me thinking about my prochlorperazine anti-nausea tablets again. I often feel better after vomiting, what if it is related to there being lower salt levels in my body afterwards, especially if my salt levels were high to begin with?

I wish I’d thought of this yesterday when I saw a doctor because I could have asked about it, but then I’m not sure I’d have trusted any answer I got anyway. Without being reckless, perhaps I need to figure out what works for me and go with that.
