Absolutely.  My anxiety goes hand in hand with stomach problems.  From what I understand, that's pretty normal. 

You're not alone!

this is common from anxiety and depression

fears and worries about having to face the new day can cause your problems, also dry retching

ask doc for some stomach calming meds

how long on the paxil and what dose, paxil can take up to 6 weeks to work and occasionally never works

Thanks everyone- ive started on paxil 12.5 mg but my doc wants to up the dose. ive been really scared about an hiv test im doing and I think I have some Paranoia problems as well, but my doc and my mother are telling me this time im "over the top" I think i need a councelor but my doc hasnt referred me to one yet. My dad had the same problems. God bless him hes my dad. But I remember when I was a kid I always thought "im not going to be like that" I guess sometimes you cant get away from it.

ive always been nausious in the morning. had no idea it was because of anxiety. the more i read these posts I realize ive been suffering my whole life and didnt know I was abnormal.

I didnt know that dramamine for motion sickness works. I always would eat some toast to settle my stomache or guzzle some pepto, but that never worked enough.,I find early morning hours in general to be stressful/ so many people rushing to work, and I would always be stressed from school or now getting to work ontime and being productive, which was all so stressful in addition to the fact that i hated to be seen in public, and always felt judged and scrutinized.

I work at home because of my anxiety. what does everyone else here do for a salary? How does one make it in the workplace suffering from anxiety?

I am scared. I dont know how many more years I can continue this way., hiding under a rock.

I am so nausceous some mornings I wonder if I'm pregnant LOL.

but I'm not and it's just the anxiety.

I feel so sick to my stomach when I wake up for the first couple hours that I don't even want to eat and food makes me gag.

Hi, Sleepless,
I understand how you feel. I am on SSI disability for my anxiety disorder/depression/work-phobia. I get $603 a month. I live in subsidized housing and am on medicaid. If my mom didn't live with me, I'd also get food stamps. It's not a lot of money to live on, but you may qualify for Social Security and get more than I do with SSI. You may also get more if you have kids to support. You should start a new thread, because sometimes queries like yours get lost within someone else's thread...I should know! been there, done that!
Take care!

I definitely know how you feel. I've had this problem every morning before school for the past 8 years. It used to be where I would actually throw up every morning until I learned to control it some. It still bothers me now though a lot of times. I can never eat in the mornings, and there used to be a lot of mornings when I felt so sick to my stomach it was hard for me to even stand up long enough to brush my teeth. ..I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who has had this problem b/c for the longest time I thought I was.
