    Default Only 2 anti-emetics left :/. Any... normal ways to easy nausea?

    Having an IBS Flare so I'm pretty nauseated... Started yesterday. I forgot to refill my prescription, and I'll be unable to refill them tonight (unable to travel atm). Any ways to ease the nausea so I can hold these out for as long as possible? They are 4mg and I was instructed to use 8 if I get really nauseated so, I basically have 1 dose to hold for 6 hours lol. I'd prefer to use them 3 hours before sleep...

    Hiya,

    The two best things for me personally for n* is peppermint tea and ginger. I've heard raw ginger is best, but I have ginger candies that I chew/suck on if I feel ill, you can also get ginger tea. So try and get your hands on them if you can

    Definitely what Marzipan said. Ginger works well. And if you have Benadryl, you could use that. Its also an anti nausea medicine. My mom works in a hospital and uses it on patients all the time, in fact.

    If you want to go a non-medication route (and if not, Dramamine is what I have always used), inhaling peppermint oil has curbed my nausea IMMENSELY. I was severely nauseated, gagging and salivating and just smelling the oil helped tremendously. It's wonderful!
