Also of note is that it initially was developed under the intention it would become an anti-anxiety, yet tests found it didn't agree with expectations, and then they found it happened to be anti-nausea. I know nothing about the drug.There was a study done recently (and was on TV news) about it markedly reducing alcohol cravings in recovering alcoholics. I was given this stuff post-op (IV) and had zero nausea. It is fairly pricey stuff and doesn't last very long, though.
