My stomach is so queasy I don't know if I need to eat or vomit.

In my research, one person going off Effexor said, "When I am nauseous, I hate to drink water, but I find that ice water actually helps my nausea as do hard boiled eggs."--https://forums.webmd.com/3/anxiety-and-panic-disorders-exchange/tip/92
When I went through chemo, I often would experience dizziness in the days following a treatment. I had been given medication for nausea, but since I didn't feel nauseated, I didn't take it. When I talked with my oncologist about the dizziness, he explained that the nausea medication worked on the brain and that I should take the medication because if I was having dizziness, I was having problems with my brain. Perhaps your problem is the reverse of mine then. You might not have ondansetron, or prochlorperazine handy, but you could try Dram*mine.
yes... and craving carbs and sugar. Since I'm also dealing with the small bowel obstruction, most of the food I eat has to be clear liquids or of baby food consistency. The carbs are supposed to help you come off the drugs. If it's not one thing, it's another.
