I am really afraid of nausea; it sets off intractable panic attacks in me which seem intolerable. I took zoloft for a long time with no problem despite the warning that it can cause nausea. It did cause nausea at times but it was transitory (meaning about 30 seconds per day) and since the feeling passed, I could handle it easily with no trauma.
Now my doctor is thinking of trying Geodon. I have heard the same thing about possibility of nausea. If it is transitory and related to stomach acid (i.e., eating a few crackers with it will alleviate the nausea) I can handle it, but if it is more of a systemic nausea which persists, then I will be afraid to even try geodon for fear of being in psychic misery until it wears off. Can anyone shed some light on the mechanism of the purported nausea risk?
