Is it really bad to take nausea medication every day because I'm scared of becoming sick? Does anyone know the effects of them on your body after a while. I go threw spurts or taking nausea medication every day for a few weeks because something around me triggers my anxiety and phobia to become worse, mostly the fact that stomach bugs are going around. Someone at my work today said he was really sick the other day and still recovering and that he forced himself to work today for the hours and I seriously wanted to run away and cry because he looked so sick and I was so afraid I am going to get sick. Then earlier today I saw a few people post about having the worst bug ever and they felt like they were going to die. Last night I woke up from a deep sleep and felt so nauseous and sick to my stomach I started taking them, and on top of it I started new birth control which I'm deathly afraid of because the last kind I had which I took a year ago made me feel so sick to my stomach my doctor prescribed me nausea medication and since then I've had an obsession with taking them. I'm so nervous of getting sick I started washing my hands at least 10 times a day, 14 was the highest which is a new habit i started this month and I think it's because everyone around me is getting so sick. I work in the public and handling money, I called out of work the other day because of the fear. I'm too embarrassed to go talk to someone real about it. My phobia is the worst during this time because of how many viruses spread. I was doing so good with all of this my boyfriends been such a great support but I feel like it's getting to the point where he's like okay you really need to see someone because it helps a lot.
