My Gerd problem has a definite pattern. I have extreme nausea in the morning until about 10 AM.( I take a Prevacid at about 6 AM). I usually take two Gaviscon at about 10 and then by noon-ish I feel pretty good and and good the rest of the day for the most part. How can I get rid of the morning nausea? It is terrible and I can't  do anything but feel horrible. Would taking another Prevacid at night help? The nurse said I could take it twice a day if I needed to.

Hi Lakelover,
It would definitely be worth at try to take a nighttime dose of Prevacid. After a week or two you would know if it was helping. I didn't experience nausea with GERD, but I have found that my stomach feels better when I eat something. Are you able to eat in the morning?
So sorry to hear that you've suffering with nausea and GERD.
I hope you find an answer to your problems. Hopefully another forum member will have some ideas for you.
Good luck!
Denise

Hello and I agree with the nurse and with Denise, it sure sounds reasonable to take a night time dose of your medication.  Give it a bit of time and see if the morning nausea does not disappear.

Otherwise I would go back to your physician.  I wish you the best and do stick with us.

Take care

Well, I have tried 2 doses of Prevacid 30 mg for two days. The night time dose has fixed the nausea in the morning probelm!!! Hope this continues. Stomach still not perfect but I have only been on Prevacid for 4 days, but it is much better. I see the Dr. a week from today so will have to get a new prescription then. He will have to agree to this plan as it works for me. I  am hoping each day gets better. I am sleeping better too without as much discomfort during the night.

Yay, Lakelover!
I'm glad the evening dose helped you! I had reflux symptoms (acid, burning) that weren't resolved with just one dose a day. The second dose made all the difference. My GI doc said that a certain percentage of patients need two doses in order to resolve their symptoms.
Good luck to you! Hope things continue to improve.
Denise
