Long-acting prochlorperazine controlled-release capsules can be very helpful because they work for six hours.

Lorazepam (Ativan) and dexamethasone (Decadron) may help block the brain’s vomiting center. It is also a very powerful combination to block ANV. Lorazepam can be taken under the tongue for rapid absorption during severe nausea.

Lorazepam is also an antidepressant and sleeping tablet that can cause amnesia, which might take the edge off any memory of vomiting once the episode is over.

Some forms of marijuana—the natural delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the synthetic form Marinol—may successfully control nausea and vomiting by working on the higher brain centers. But they can also cause drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, and sweating.
