It depends what is causing the neasea. There are 3 areas that control the vomiting reflex : substance P, dopamine and 5HT3 receptors.
Most stimulant neasea is dopamine/gaba inbalance so it is correctlable with something to dapen dopamine a bit.
Motion sickness is usually dopamine as well, so it can respond to antihistamine drugs to stop vertigo.
substance P is usually some sort of inflamation or toxin mediated, such as a virus. It is much harder to stop this type of vomit reflex, neurontin, emend and lyrica can though.
5t3 is everything else i guess. serotonin mediated.
In the end its all connected probably.
Sounds like motion sickness (vertigo-type?).
Anxiety/panic mediated vomiting is substance P, and dopamine.
You could try benadryl and test if its vertigo type, stress type, will usually not respond to this.
Everytime you vomit you lose lots of potassium, so if you dont replete the potassium it will make it worse over time. pedialyte or gatorate is a good choice, or bananas or OJ.
