Nausea Treatments

[Patrick]

Hey all,

Getting (what I think was) the flu last weekend was having me googling nausea treatments, and I came across some I hadn't heard before. I was curious what works for you, if anything.

I take a Dramamine here and there to try to quell it.  If things get really bad, I have some more potent prescriptions.  If there is anything natural that anyone knows of, I'm all ears, too.

Thanks Brian. Dramamine is actually one of the things I just picked up for next time. I have never used it because I felt like it was more of a thing people take because they can't do rides at a theme park, etc. So, I'll have it for next time. The smell of rubbing alcohol is another one I read about, as well as ginger candies, so I got some of those to try, too. It doesn't happen much, but when it does...

Depends on the severity and the cause, for me. If it's mild, I can generally use mint or ginger to calm my stomach. If that doesn't cut it, I take dramamine, and after that I can take Zofran or Fenergan, but those are prescriptions. If the nausea is caused by migraine, I have Ubrelvy to stop the migraine and reduce the symptoms, but that's also prescription.

Talking along the line of migraines, I recently was prescribed Verapamil to take daily.  Last Saturday was a bad day, but Sunday when I got to eat some breakfast and take that pill, it made a difference.  I also have prescription diazapem in case of severe cases of vertigo.

Lots of sleep.

Crackers seem to do the trick for me whenever I’m feeling nauseous. Sometimes throwing up works too for me. Both worked whenever I was doing my cancer treatments. I love eating lemons a lot however they sometimes induced me to throw up….then I’d fell ALL SNAPPY and good to go.

I can definitely sleep... after throwing up, haha. Trying to see what I can do to avoid that but ultimately not always avoidable.

You are still having it after more than two weeks?

Thanks for checking. No, no, I'm not. I just decided I would try to be prepared for next time (or when someone in my family has it happen).
