    I don't know whats wrong with me. I just ate dinner and now I feel so sick... I just popped 2 pepto and that didn't seem to do anything so I took a gravol about 5 minutes ago.. now I'm just waiting for that to kick in.

    I try not to take gravol unless I'm feeling pretty bad. Im also feeling pretty anxious right now, which is odd because I haven't felt this way in a long time.

    I just have to wait until the gravol works... * cross your fingers*

    I hope you're feeling better now and that the gravol kicked in.

    I hope you feel better soon! I highly doubt you'll v* though, and I'm not sure if it was really necessary to take the Gravol along w/ the Pepto-Bismol. Remember most n* comes from your brain. Tell yourself you're OK. But like I said I highly doubt you'll v* cuz from what i heard Pepto is supposed to be really effective in keeping you from v*ing. I heard that they've done experiments w/ it where people took 5 ml. of syrup of ipecac, and then took Pepto, and 80% of them DID NOT v*!

    Im feeling much better now! I don't know what it was, I think whatever I ate was too rich for me or something.. but even with my IBS, I haven't felt that barfy in a LONG time. I almost got up and ran to the bathroom several times

    The gravol took about 15-20 minutes and then I fell asleep for 2 hours! that stuff makes me soo sleepy.

    I just wonder what it was, part of me thinks it might be all the stress from school since Im heading into finals, with papers due, and such.

    I was a little weary to eat supper tonight, but I did and I feel fine now.
    yay for gravol.....

    the pepto I dont find is effective so much with me.. I don't take it often but when I do I find its not quite enough to take the edge off the nausea.. Im more likely to take that If Ive got other end issues, haha.

    Interesting because Pepto made mev*. That and those fuzzy tablet drops to put in water..um...I forgot the name...I v* 1 minute after with those,too. That was the worst.

    Alka Seltzer is the fizzy stuff. That makes me gag! But Pepto usually helps me.

    I find Pepto extremely helpful when I'm n*. I've just bought some Motilium 10 (domperidone) but haven't tried it yet.

    wow, maybe you were already gonna v* anyway? Cuz I don't think Pepto works right away. I mean, if you were gonna v* like at that moment, the Pepto wouldn't have helped

    it says on the bottle that you can take doses at intervals of a half hour each.. So Im thinking peptp probably works fast but doesnt last long. I knew for me at that point I was going to have to break out the heavy duty stuff, lol.
