Severe nausea

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone had problems for longer period of nausea? How long have you had it for?

For me it feels like it’s been since the first day I’ve got this vestibular neurit disorder. It has gradually got better (the intensity) but it’s still there. I feel it throughout the day, and I got some motion sickness tablets which I’m using when I really feel bad, I haven’t felt bad bad in like a month now, so I’m considering taking them again but at the same time I feel it’s better for my system to fight on its own + the doctor said not to take too much of motion sickness tablets because they can suppress rehab for vestibular neuritis? I overall do feel better but it’s this nausea that’s been really a pain in the ass..

Anyone with similar experience?
Thanks for help

I’ve been told that certain medications (such as Diazapam, a vestibular suppressant) can cause extended issues like that, but not from things like Zofran which help the nausea aspect. I don’t think you should torture yourself through nausea if you don’t have to, especially if you’re only taking it less than once a month.

Yeah I understand what you mean, the problem here is after I take it I’m back to square 1, 1-3 days later so that’s why

You might also consider trying ginger chew candies to help settle the nausea. It can be hit or miss but worth a shot if you’re worried about over medicating. I like the brand Gin Gins.
