Re: anti nausea meds!! what r the best ones?

The best anti-emetic depends on what the cause of your nausea and your age/sex

Re: anti nausea meds!! what r the best ones?

You can believe what you want but if you have not tried it then don't pass judgement on it. It has been in use for over 200 years and is still being used in many countries around the world and also in the USA.
I have been using Homeopathy for almost 30 years and I have found for some things it works....
I have found in homeopathic mini-doses the right selected remedy works effectively.
It relatively inexpensive so I think it's worth a try !!!

Scopolamine Patch.. for motion sickness.. its a prescription and just a tiny patch the goes behind your ear.. good for 72 hours but getting ins. to pay is not always easy. Have also used meclizine in the past.. also worked well and also a prescription

Re: anti nausea meds!! what r the best ones?

It depends on the cause of the nausea. When I had vertigo for nine months straight, meclizine helped with the NAUSEA, but not with the dizziness. Very small amounts of valium actually helped both, but I think it was more because it took away my dizziness and therefore, I wasn't as nauseous. I used to live on dramamine, and it helped quite a bit, but does make you pretty out of it. If you are nauseous from just an upset/acidic stomach, I don't think you're going to get too much relief from these meds. Good luck.

Re: anti nausea meds!! what r the best ones?

My stomach problems arent due to acidic reasons, so antacids wont help. Its functional dyspepsia and doctors arent quite sure what causes it yet, they say it may be something to do with the brain and its relation to the stomach and the nerves mabie.
Meds like bonine have helped me alot! like promethazine works good but leaves me lifeless! and stugeron makes me very drowsy!! i just wanted a good antiemetic that took away the nausea and didnt knock me out!

I am certainly not mocking homeopathy! i do use arnica bruises cream i just find the way that each remedy is made a bit strange! but if you beleive in it thats brill! as the brain does control our body and if we have positive thoughts about things it can make us feel better.

Thanks for all your help!
