I suffer from anxiety for the first time in my life and I’m 40 years old! I have been nauseous for 8 months now and tried various meds and for 8 months I have been taking Xanax or clonopin but now it’s only Xanax! I had my gallbladder out 3 weeks ago hoping that would cure the nausea but it hasn’t! I’m sick all of the time and it’s making it hard to want to live and enjoy life! Does anyone else suffer from anxiety and have nausea all the time? I have had major tests done to rule out other issues and otherwise I’m “supposedly” healthy! I take zofran for nausea every day several times a day! I feel like I’m getting addicted to Xanax and needing more! Please any suggestions?? Thanks
