Yeah, they definitely warned me about the drowsiness... it's a double-whammy for me, since they also have me on lexapro starting tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll just be unconscious for a while - LOL! That's interesting that you broke out in hives... I'm only saying it's "interesting" because she said that's what they typically prescribe phenergan for! Thanks for the heads-up, though; allergies are truly weird things.

Hey Casey,
I was prescribed Phenergan for nausea after a panic attack. I don't know why but when I get a panic attack that awful nausea always follows. It did help but it will make you very drowsy. I only took half the dose. It's been awhile since I took one. Usually pepto bismol helps so I stick with that. I am going to try the ginger capsules that I bought but.... am afraid to take.... one of these days.

Barbie,
Don't be afraid to take them. They are as safe as Ginger tea only stronger. I take nightly (2) before bed and don't have a bit of nausea. When I forget and have gone a while without taking them ewww,  I frequently feel sick to my stomach and don't know why, until it dawns on me that I haven't been good about remembering them. When I get back into taking them on a regular basis I have no symptoms what so ever.
Ginger in your cooking and eating crystallized or candied ginger may help as well. It's wonderful stuff, in any form!
And I just discovered a thinly sliced marinated ginger (pink in color) next to the Wasabi with the Sushi at a Chinese place I go to. Anyone know the name of it?

I believe that it is called pickled ginger. We eat it all the time!

My husband did take immodium advanced and now he is on the C side of things. (sigh!) We continue to make these mistakes cause we can't read fast enough!
He agrees that he has the nausea when the gas levels are high. It does not matter what time of day. In fact he seems to get worse as the day progresses. So he will wake up fine and then by mid-afternoon be uncomfortable at work with gas and nausea. He switched to soy milk and oat squares for breakfast (2 days so far) and said that today was a good day. Meaning no nausea. He also has been great about getting regular exercise.
Someone mentioned Pepto and he said that when he was really bad with nausea several weeks ago that did help. He since then took Milanta and had complete D soon afterwards so he will never do that again. So since that he has been worried about the Pepto for nausea too.
As an aside: I think one of the reasons it took awhile for us to get onto the band wagon was getting ourselves around the problem. To accept that is was real and that it was not going to go away. Nausea is the worst, in his opinion, and he is highly motivated not to do anything to have it happen again. (scared too)
Thanks so much for your feedback we both read the posts and it is appreciated!

Thanks Lefty and IbsFla...I didn't figure it would have any exotic name to it.........so I guess just "pickled ginger" it is.

i take motilium when i get a nausea attack....it usually works like a dream. taking it hand in hand with ginger root tea, helps me a lot. motilium has recently been banned in the US because one of its side effects is increasing lactation in breast feeding mothers and a lot of mothers are using the drug to increase their milk output. side effects on babies are not known so they have removed it from the shelves over there. it has been used for years in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. I am moving to the US in a month and am going to have to smuggle it in!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
