Recently i've been feeling nauseas some times. On wellbutrin, feel slightly hypo, and some times am smoking and drinking. What does it mean that i get nauseas more often in terms of emotions? What do you feel when naseaus?

When I get nauseous, I breathe deep. Nausea tends to make my mind race and leads to all sorts of unpleasant thoughts. I simply try to relax and not let my mind get carried away with negativity.

Sometimes I get that disgusting vomit that kind of comes up then goes back down again. It's gross. I just drink a big cup of hot water as soon as possible.
Emotionally? Just hate it. It's probably side effect of Meds.

I think of nausea as a reaction to actual or perceived stress.
Anxiety results leading to chemical releases in the brain that disrupt GI equilibrium.
Control the anxiety, the nausea won't be present.
30m/day of physical activity and talk therapy may be helpful.

When I feel nauseated, the accompanying emotion is usually anxiety, stress or sometimes guilt.... or rarely, fear. Excitement could do it, but not for me.

It's a chemical release of ephineperine (caused by the anxiety) that disrupts GI system. There's also no interest in eating during a fight or flight response (anxiety) for the same reason.

okay a couple things here

-carried away with negative emotion
-BastetsMuse - how could excitement also cause nausea?
-piano97 - why is flight or fight responce considered anxiety? what exactly does "anxiety" and "GI system" mean?

[piano97]

Anxiety happens for a variety of reasons but regardless of the source, the physiological response to the anxiety triggers a complex release of hormones and neurotransmitters into the blood stream. This creates the "I've got to get out of here, right now or the I feel totally frozen and can't move" sensation. Lack of focus and restlessness are other common symptoms. Everybody has a different unique response.

GI is gastro-intestinal track. So your stomach, intestines, etc.

The aforementioned involuntary chemical release that happens affects the GI system which leads to the nausea.

Hope that made some sense I wrote it quickly. Lol I'm mildly hypomanic as I'm coming off of risperdal.

I see. that was sufficient for my reading level, thank you

I tend to become more focused though, so it isn't necesarily a bad feeling, just physically feels ******. But it doesn't last long.

So i guess now i'm trying to figure out why it happens but thanks everyone for telling me that its anxiety

[piano97]

Sorry, I may not have helped at all
You can definately do things that lower baseline anxiety and prevent full blown attacks. Breathing work, exercise, talk therapy. Sometimes medication.

[hahayeahtotallylol]

no you did help my question has now been answered and turned into "what causes my anxiety" which is a more personal question, so again, thanks.

[piano97]

Some of this may be related to the wellbutrin. I just re-read your initial post. Might talk to MD about to clarify. Could take with food and that might help, or take at bedtime and hopefully 8 hours later there's less of it.

[hahayeahtotallylol]

True I'll try food w it
