My anxiety has been off for 2 days but today I tried this OTC nausea med called Gravol and my anxiety seems through the roof now.

Is this a common symptom? The main ingredient is diemenhydrinate which I think is the stuff in Benadryl and that always causes me to have panic attacks.

Diphenhydramine is generic benadryl.

I don't know anything about Gravol.

What did your GI suggest? Why are you off the Elavil?

I called him yesterday and he hasn't gotten back to me. I was still getting sick every day on the elavil. Plus it was starting to mess with my weight and I was starting to sleep all day. Idk. I know with some meds side effects take awhile to show up.

Now those side effects are gone and I'm getting sick less but I'm still nauseated.

My GI wants me on the med motegrity but with an RX card its still $500 a month. I kinda feel like an abdominal scan wouldn't be a bad idea at this point.

I'm just tired and achy.

I thought you had tests done? What abdominal scan they are talking about? Did they give you proper diagnosis? It’s crazy how long you’ve been sick and no improvement

I had endoscopys done and and a colonoscopy. I had an abdomnial scan done a couple years ago but that was before things got bad and they said its too risky to do another one because of the radiation. Or some ****.

Endoscopy should give them a good picture of what’s in your stomach. Are you trying to eat healthier?
