I had nausea with it, too, for weeks and weeks. It did get better, but it was pretty horrible. I'll be honest and say that I had to smoke something green to get through it sometimes. After a while, the nausea did stop being so horrible, and I noticed that keeping it on a regular as possible schedule of ingestion is good, and missing a dose-then restarting-makes it more pronounced.

Now that I think about it, here are some other tips to perhaps try, if you believe that the medication is helping you:

-I take it in the middle of late-afternoon or evening meals most often, and it seems to help.

-Taking it, and then settling into a long nap, or bed.

My dosage had to come down from 15 to 10 to 5 and then subsequently back up to 10mg, because the nauseating, sedating, and sexual side effects had to be titrated. Most of the sexual side effects are gone, I think. As are the sedative, and the nausea. But, I'm approaching a year on it, now. I hope this is helpful information in your quest for the right meds.

That's what it is, a damn quest, and there are some bad rooms you can go in sometimes. Sometimes you just gotta drudge through it, and I hope there are some good folks there to help ya through it! BIG CYBER HUG, take care!
