How do you take meds when you can't hold anything down. I don't know what hit me but since this morning have thrown up and haven't been able to hold anything down. Not even ginger ale my go to when I have a bad tummy. How am I suppose to take meds especially Latuda that requires food.

Did you try to stir out the bubbles in your ginger ale? Sometimes the bubbles (carbonation) irritates my stomach when I'm sick. So, if you haven't stirred out the bubbles, you could try that.

I've heard peppermint works well too. It's supposed to calm your stomach down so that you can eat food. Maybe you can suck on a peppermint candy if you have any? Or if you have peppermint extract, put some in a cup of water and drink it. (I know it sounds nasty, but it's one way to get it into your stomach.)
Thanks for this!

The other day I woke up hungover and spent the entire day throwing up so I didn't even take my meds. I figure it's only a day, no biggie. Besides I wouldn't of been able to even hold down the water that's required to take them. I was a hot mess and swore off alcohol.. Again.

If ginger ale doesn't work for me, I go to peppermint tea as an alternative. That usually helps.

When I'm that sick, I skip the meds. I'm already miserable, so I hold off on the meds until I can keep things down again. Yesterday was that kind of day, so I just skipped my meds. Today I can keep things down and resumed the medications.
