In reply to Paxil making me nauseous--HELP, posted by tina on March 20, 2001, at 8:42:04
Tina - The nausea should only last a week or two. It is one of the start-up side effects. Have you tried taking with food? You could use an anti-nauseant like Gravol or Bonamine; it may help or it may not. Hang in there; this too shall pass.
Also, starting at a lower dose is often helpful. Many people start low and work the dose up. Just make sure that your doc knows of this.
Hope this helps - Cam
> Just started Paxil on sunday. Doc told me to take 20mgs but I'm starting at 10 instead. The thing is it's making me very nauseous. How long can I expect this 'lovely' side offect to last and will it come back again when I increase the dosage to 20mgs?
> And, is it ok to take an anti-nauseant with it?
> thanks all
