hey all,
so I am going back on pristiq and I already knew the nausea would be an issue (I get it with every med with that 'possible' effect). so I had looked up remedies online and two of them were ginger capsules (used in chemo patients) and zantac. well, I didn't throw up but I still had dry heaves about an hour after I took the pristiq even after taking both the ginger and zantac.
I know the side affect will go away after about a week, its just getting through that week that is so hard. anyone have some ideas/tips about the nausea?

I've tried many other antidepressants, they push me into mania, the snri's work best for me. I've also tried latuda but the nausea was horrible despite eating and it was causing me to lose my other needed meds into the toilet.

might consider asking for zofran even though I did just see my pdoc Monday. I seriously need to be on the antidepressant right now, relationship issues are coming up, holidays and winter in general. just trying to be proactive.

thanks!
