> You gave me my chuckle for the day, you are tooo funny! I am super sensitive to all psych meds. I typically take a much smaller dose than your average person. Right now I am on Lamictal (100) Zoloft (37.5) and Restoril (15). I am wondering if I should stop the Zoloft to see if it is the once causing the nausea, or stick it out and wait and see if it is the Remeron withdrawel. I keep reading about others getting nausea during withdrawel. If I can't take the Zoloft for the anxiety I don't know what I will take. Oh! The frustration! I too can't handle nausea well. Give me any other side effect and I can cope, but the nausea is the WORST. I have bad headaches, bone aches, insomnia, etc. from the Remeron withdrawel too. But I could care less, just get rid of the nausea, lol!!!
Hi, I know what you mean. Barf=can't take this medicine, sorry! Thanks for listing your meds/dosages. I found Zoloft great for depression/panic, etc., BUT it created so much nausea and diarrhea that I could't hack it. The first and simplest thing that might be done is to switch SSRI's (since Z. works so well for your anx.). As far as personal experience with SSRI-induced nausea goes I got the least from Prozac and Celexa. I did get nausea for a few days with Prozac and Celexa, but it did fade rapidly, Zoloft nausea did not fade at all. I would ask your pdoc about a flip from Zoloft to either Prozac, Celexa, or Lexapro and see what happens.... OH, just a postscript here, but the the Zoloft induced nausea may just SEEM like Remeron withdrawal...
