flat ginger ale should help and dry crackers

I find ginger ale does help with the queasies, so can ginger snaps (the cookies). I used to keep both on the boat along with ginger capsules for friends who might have motion sickness. But, it's hard to say what might offset something caused by a new medication. If I were you, I'd ask my doctor, see if there is something that could be added to keep your stomach settled. Make sure he/she knows you actually vomited. .

There is most definitely a medication that can be prescribed to combat the nausea. Contact the office of the doc who prescribed the med that's causing the nausea.

Zofran odt or regular Zofran, the odt you put under the tongue and it goes to work faster. I have some of my meds that cause nausea and my doctor prescribed it for me just for that. I don't plan to ever be with out it because it works so amazingly well.
If the doctor knows that the med causes nausea he should be happy to send in a script for the Zofran.
No need to suffer unnecessarily.

I take a prescription drug once a day for nausea. If that doesn't help dry a couple of saltines. I keep them handy just in case I get that feeling.

Not just for pregnancy, I suggest nausea Sea-bands. Because, it may be that the nausea subsides once you get the medication going. And if it doesn't subside, then you can ask for meds. Meds may (will!) probably cause another side effect. But it's just one suggestion.

I did use these during pregnancy. I had a hydatidiform mole, and the word is nausea is off the charts (according to the National Institutes of Health, could be bad enough for a hospital stay) in this malady. The bands truly helped.

Ginger, definitely. Gravol has a version that is just ginger, and it works very well. generic ginger pills also work, but I find they are ground ginger in capsules and it seemed to burn my stomach all day long.

Another trick is sucking on lemon wedges. I learned that from a marathon runner, which he used to deal with nausea from the smell of car fumes while running. Lemon water also works, but being full of water sometimes leads to more nausea LOL.

You can also try sipping peppermint, fennel, or anise tea.

Dances.

Ginger candy or crystallized ginger works like a charm for me. I keep a stock of Gin Gins on hand at all times. Amazon usually has best price.

Stop taking it!

Ginger - ginger ale doesn't work because most don't actually contain ginger. There are ginger flavored Altoids that are tasty and do well, Trader Joe's has ginger candies that are really good. Ginger tea is available at most grocery stores.

Green Apples

I like lemon flavored bubble water when my stomach is queasy. Really cold. That seems to help me the most.

Sea Bands

One thing that might help with info is to go to the CruiseCritic website and search under seasick remedies

Good luck. I know it isn't fun. Hopefully you get used to the meds and the sick tummy goes away

Did you tell your doctor about this side effect? Maybe he can give you a different med.

Although I know it's common practice, I dislike the idea of prescribing another med to counteract the side effects of the first one.

Nothing worked when I was PG. Later, I saw a remedy with great reviews that I never saw before-potato chips washed dow with lemonade.

I'm sorry you're feeling nausea so often--that's such a crummy feeling. If you eat ginger candy, be sure to check that it's not made in China as there have been some problems with ginger candy made in that country.

Sorry you are going through this. If it was me I'd be calling the doctor. Hope you will feel better soon.

Tagamet

crystalized ginger

ginger capsules

Will it help if you breathe through an open mouth? Sometimes I find that changing my breathing patterns helps fight that a little bit--as a short-term, in-the-moment fix, to get me through the worst parts.

Or, maybe deep breathing:

Are you allowed to mix gravol with your medication?

Zofran

If you want an OTC remedy, try Ginger Trips. I found mine at whole foods. I took them when I was flying to help combat the horrible motion sickness I get every time I fly, no matter how smooth the flight. They seemed to help.

I also do what tally suggests. Mouth breathing truly combats nausea.

Not that it matters why, but I think it relaxes the ribcage/abdomen so it doesn't get too tense.

turn your hand,palm up and place 3 fingers from your other hand at the bend in the wrist.where your 3rd or middle finger lands is a reflexology point that might help you-press and hold there for a minute or so,and see if that helps you

Well, I "gingered up" -- Trader Joe's triple-ginger cookies, ginger chews (not from China) and some ginger mints spotted at the cash register display. And had a cup of lemon/ginger tea. That's helping.

(Don't know how my doc would feel about the potato-chips-and-lemonade cure, but I know I'd love it!)

I'll see what Whole Foods has in the ginger/natural anti-nausea department, too...

Check your drug store, ask if they have either Coke Syrup or "Emetrol". Both are OTC liquids, you just swallow a little bit, it works great for me. I've used it for morning sickness in pregnancy, and whenever I've been nauseated.

I hope you have discussed this nausea problem with your doctor that prescribed it, that is always the first step because in some cases if the nausea is bad enough to cause vomiting it is more than just a mild side effect. It is causing the proper amount of medication not to be fully used by the body. Or it could be a reaction to a combination of drugs or something.
It is not uncommon to be prescribed a drug like the Zofran I mentioned earlier if this is a " normal" side effect.

Some drugs like for example Metformin for diabetes is often prescribed along with a vitamin B12 because it affects the normal vitamin B12 in the body and that can cause nausea. Taking it with your B12 supplements can make it much easier to take. My doc prefers me to take the B12 in liquid form and sometimes by shots.
