What else can I do?

[jadeshine]

I'm suffering real (as in not anxiety) nausea right now and I've been trying to remedy it for over an hour now. I've got ice on the back of my neck, took regular AND non-drowsy Dramamine, Emetrol every fifteen minutes, had some ginger tea, flat soda, and peppermints, smelling essential oils, nothing is working. Any more suggestions? I don't have any prescription anti-emetics on hand.

Do you have any anti anxiety medication? Even with real nausea, our anxiety can make it worse. Also, give the meds time to work, they will work! Hope you feel better soon!

Well it seems like you've taken almost everything to help, so maybe now you should try mental relaxation by taking a nap, laying down, watching a movie, reading...doing something to distract your mind. Take a warm bath. I'm sure these methods along with the medications you've been taking should make you feel better

I agree with jaymayse8. Especially the warm bath part. Have you tried sipping water, or gas pills. Maybe you need to burp.

How are you feeling now?

[staystrongxx]

Yeah, how are you feeling?
Hopefully you were able to relax and feel better and are napping

Thanks everyone. I ended up going to sleep nauseous (which I hate doing) because the Dramamine just wouldn't let me stay awake. I woke up feeling fine this morning.

Glad you're ok now.

Keep popsicles on hand for if you start feeling gaggy in the throat. There is no reason to mix non-drowsy (meclezine) and regular (dimenhyrdinate) Dramamine. Doug

I wouldn't make a habit of mixing meclizine and dimenhydrinate, but it worked for you this time and that's good. It would be better to get more rx antiemetics. I personally would rather take dimenhydrinate, just because I know I can take more in 4-6 hrs or take something else if it isn't working and I have more experience to know what I can take with it without causing any serious issues.
