Initially it made me nauseous, but this can be countered by using
dompedridone. I can take 15 unit but the nausea gets worse. Howsever, 10
is a big enough dose. I only use it occasionally, because if I can get to
the refridgerator I can walk (sort of) annd I don't need the apomorphine.
When I use it, the results are felt in about 10 minutes. One of its
disadvantages is that it has to be drawn up into the syringe and once the
glass ampule is opened, it only lasts a day and must be thrown out.
