KTgirl, I moved your message to this existing discussion about nausea and digestive issues and long-COVID. I did this so you can connect with other members experiencing these side effects and finding solutions, like @antonsc @lweed1956 @jwatzig.

What med did your doc prescribe? Was it ondansetron (zofran)? My doc only gave me 1 script, but it was very effective. When I could not eat at all for days due to extreme nausea, it helped.

My nausea seems to have been caused by Cymbalta. One pill makes me sick for 3 days. ALL my docs were INSISTING it was not Cymbalta and I should continue it. I spent thousands on docs and tests… I finally took myself off and started to improve. Now Covid has seemed to aggravate my stomach again.

Anyway, if this is the drug, it helped me, but they’d never give me more. I think Dr said it can mess with brain chemicals. If it’s a dif drug, maybe you can try it to get some relief. I’m glad you’re asking questions and researching. You cannot trust your health or life to anyone, regardless of their degrees.

As a nurse some medications have multiple uses. Just because it’s often used for schizophrenia doesn’t mean that’s what is being treated. There’s a strong link between the gut and brain and some medication can help. Some psychiatric medications help chronic pain too.
