The most effective thing I've been given for anxiety is Phenergan (Promethazine). Some docs will prescribe it; some won't. Does your doc know how serious your nausea has gotten? If you can't get Phenergan, there are other meds available over-the-counter: prochlorperazine, antivert, dramamine, meclizine, benadryl, emetrol, vitamin B6, bonine, d-vert, and nauzene. Your pharmacist can advise you on which might be the most effective for you, but you may need to try a couple different types before you find what works best for you.

FWIW, I panic to such an extreme when I have to leave the house that I usually have to sit down and talk to myself ight out loud, reassuring myself and doing some serious deep, slow breathing. It really does help if you can get into it. I'm so sorry for your suffering, and hope you find relief!

Sheesh... I apologize. That firsst sentence should have read, "most effective thing I've been given for nausea".

Been there, done that. But IMO, drugging yourself isn't the answer. I went thru this same thing VERY recently and I can tell you, it's the empty stomach that causes most of the nausea, get something besides a pill in your stomach and you will start feeling better almost immediately. Eat whatever you feel you can tolerate. If even the thought of a scrambled egg makes you grimace, don't eat a scrambled egg! But if a gross, greasy cheeseburger sounds good, eat the cheeseburger, or at least SOME of the cheeseburger. Eat what you can handle at the moment, but EAT!!! I promise you, the empty stomach is causing most of your discomfort, as you get back into the habit of eating, even if it's just a few bites here and there, you WILL, over time, be able to eat full meals again.

Have you tried taking an over the counter acid controller? The active ingredient is famotidine. I know when I am nauseated from the anxiety that my stomach is just churning. This usually helps me and is not an addictive prescription type solution.

You're going to have to put yourself "in the moment" to eat. Try cinnamon, ginger, and find what helps settle your taste buds to help you "in the moment". Sip liquid to get hydrated and to give your mouth the chance to relax naturally, which will help your throat and stomach relax. Best wishes, and welcome to this wonderful group!

I had debilitating anxiety over a year ago, in which I lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks- leaving me at 106 pounds (I am 5'8) I never threw up, however, I just had no appetite, and would forget to eat, my dr put my on Remeron as an addition to my already prescribed Zoloft. Well, I have never been so hungry in my LIFE, I would eat 4 doughnuts and still be hungry, I had a jlo booty in no time LOL, my clothes became very tight (I have a high metabolism, naturally slender build/ eat everything) and after a couple of months I got off the remeron, and was totally fine, my body adjusted back to the pre anxiety weight loss /weight gain. (Im not prescribing medication to u, that's for u and your dr to discuss, just letting u know what worked in my case) best of luck to u :)

Thank you all for the great advice, I will try it out :)
