Diseasemaps

The treatment of CVS is a difficult area, with little research to support one form of treatment over another. Treatment often progresses in an empirical manner, by trial and error on an individual basis.

The patient may be given any of the following:

Medicine to prevent nausea and vomiting – such as ondansetron
Medicine for abdominal pain – such as ibuprofen or is severe cases opioids
Medicine to control stomach acid production – such as ranitidine, lanzoprazole or omeprazole
Migraine treatments – such as sumatriptan and propranolol

It may take a while to find a medicine or combination of medicines that work, as not all these treatments work for everyone.

There are a few medications and supplements which can help manage symptoms of cyclic vomiting syndrome. The most common would be amitriptyline , COQ10 and L.carnatine. some women have mentioned vitamin B supplements have helped ease episodes around their period. You need to discuss who medications may work best for you with your medical professional as all medications have side affects.

For myself and many others that I have connected with, the best treatment has been Amitriptyline which must be prescribed by your doctor. I have been on it for a year and have been episode free.

There isn't a straight forward path. Each person responds to different treatments. First step is to try amiltriptyline, you can be weaned on and keep bumping up until you either feel better or reach your limit of mg to kg. There is other drugs in the same family you can try as well. It is typically a migraine medication but has had great success with CVS sufferers. There is also the mito-cocktail. There is also research to suggest that CVS is a type of neurological mitochondrial disorder. A lot of CVS sufferers have success with the cocktail. Which is amiltriptyline, coQ10 and l-carnitine.

At this time it appears that there is no specific treatment that works for all who suffer from CVS. Different meds work for each individual. And for some, sadly nothing seems to work ! Many like myself have used a hot shower, placing a cool damp Terry cloth at the back of the neck to calm the Vagal nerve. Some sip on cool quality filtered water, Zofran melts sometimes work, Lorazepam, amitriptalibe, Phenergan, compatible, Regan, Benadryl works for some. And then there’s a cocktail of meds that work for some.
