What do you all take for nausea? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 07-11-2009, 04:49 PM

I get nausea all the time because I'm on 7 different meds, and all of them have nausea as a side effect. I'm looking to get off about half of my meds, but in the meantime it's something I just have to deal with. I thought I would ask you all though what you do to fight nausea so I'd get some ideas on how to bring some relief to this problem. Thanks in advance!!

I always drink cold 7 UP. Sprite works as well. My mom would give it to me all the time when I was nauseous in the past, and I still drink it these days. It works for me. I hope you can find something that works for you Brad. Nausea is really annoying and terrible-it gets in the way of so many things.

I'm sorry that your medications make you have an upset stomach. I know Sprite and crackers can help sometimes.

I've never tried it, but I think ginger in supposed to help with nausea.

I have tired ginger and it helps. (And don't mean the Ginger from "Gilligan's Island.")

I put in about 20 drops in a small amount of water.

Cola syrup is also good to use.
Along with 7-Up when left out for a while so it goes flat.

Thanks alot for the info guys!! I will try everything you all mentioned, and see how it works.

Pepto Bismol, even if it's an off-brand. I like the cherry-flavored better.

Yah, my mom always used to give us Ginger Ale, but a friend at work told me about the cola syrup (if you can't get the syrup, then leave some cola out to go flat and it works almost as well).

In your case, because it's being caused by meds, plain soda crackers may help as well - or milk when you take your medications. Gravol by supository might also be an option, but that stuff makes me so sleepy I only take it if I absolutely have to.

I used to take Di-Gel and it worked perfecly, but they don't make it anymore. Now I have to find something else.

I forgot about Ginger Ale. Thanks for reminding me.

Hot tea is really good for that.

Fortunately I'm feeling pretty good today, and have had no nausea. It usually gets worse in the evening though, and so if it does, I'll try a glass of tea and see how it works. Thanks my friend!!

No prob. Just stick to tea and bland foods and lemme know how that works.
