Has anyone had Nausea that won't go away.

Posted by peeteer22 @peeteer22, Mar 6, 2023

I have been nauseous for months. I'm a 9 out of 10 ( 10 trowing up)
I have been taking Ondansetron 8mg without much success.
I don't know how much more I can take. It is torture.

Is it a little tiny pill that dissolves under your tongue? Kind of sweet?

Alison,
Wonderful if it works for you.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

I had nausea for months and when I started taking a probiotic it went away. It's called Trunature Advanced Digestive Probiotic and it is regulated with the USP code on the front of the box.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck,

I have a date on the 16th. They will check my right side Bowel discomfort.
The Zofran(Odensatron) I have but does not do me anything.
When I get up mornings I am very nauseous. If I take 2 Lorazipam it slowly goes away. It seems I'm hooked on Lorazipam. If I don't take 2 in the morning and 1
at night, I get Nausea big time.

Sometimes gallbladder or reflux cause nausea. It will be interesting to see what your gastro says.

It’s also a common side effect of benzodiazepine. I didn’t realize it until I noticed whatever I tried to combat nausea wasn’t helping much but when I took an Ativan it would go away until to med wore off. I was shocked to discover that many of my symptoms benzodiazepine related. It’s wise to get checked out to be sure and hopefully your in a better place than I am, good luck.

First, how long have you been on benzos? What is your current dosage or taper?
What, besides Zofran, have you tried, both Rx and OTC?
It sounds benzo-related, particularly if your GI has checked you out, and without any issues there. I have experience with chronic nausea so I do know the “torture” of which you speak. I may be able to help you, with a little more info/history. Until then, hang in there and get some Prince of Peace ginger chews to chew for a little temporary relief.

Frouke,
I think that is the problem. When the Ativan wears off, the nausea starts.
Then when I take them, the nausea starts to decrease.
So if I am nauseous most of the time, am I not taking enough Ativan? and
that my body is getting used to the medication? And am hooked?

clutch,
I have been on one Benzo or another for a good 1-1/2 years.
I have taken them as prescribed. When I needed more on occasion,
I took one. But after a while I complained that they didn't help much
anymore, so he started me on another benzo. I have not tried anything
except Zofran and Ginger for nausea. I don't think Zofran is the answer
because if I take more Ativan as I said in the above post, the nausea
for the most part slowly goes away.
