Have dry heaves and nausea in the morning. Sure it is related to anxiety and depression. On small dose of Zoloft now for a little over two weeks. Anything anyone can suggest for the nausea? Thx.

I can not afford most medications, so when I have nausea, i either use "the pink stuff" or I drink one of several herbal teas. Mint tea is especially good for nausea and it tastes pretty good with a little bit of honey. Mint has been used for centuries to treat all kinds of stomach problems, including nausea. Another thing that I use to treat nausea is licorice root which is where the black licorice flavor is derived. I absolutely love black licorice, licorice root tea and even just shewing on the end of a licorice root stick. Licorice root and mint are very affordable and have many healthy uses. I advise you to take the time and look it up :-)

Hope that you can find some relief.
Best wishes,

I drink gingerale or ginger tea. Mint as suggested is another very good one.

Less medications, the better.

I get really bad nausea from my medications, so my Dr has me on promethazine, but it makes me sleepy. So instead of being sleepy all the time, I use a variety of methods.

Cool washcloths on the back of my neck help. or taking a cool shower, sitting in front of a fan/AC or even just going outside if there's a cool breeze. Something about the cold helps.

Ginger is really good. Ginger Ale, Ginger tea, or there's also a crystalized ginger candy and a ginger gum that are both nice alternatives, especially if you have a thing for sweets like I do.

I always carry crackers or pretzels or something like that with me, that helps too.

Peppermint also helps me, candy canes, or those round peppermint candies, tea, or even peppermint oil.

Sometimes I just have to focus on something else and keep my fingers crossed, and sometimes its impossible to avoid getting sick, and I feel better after I do.
