Nausea and vertigo. Who gets it and what do you do?

[[He...]]

I was doing well ( as well as you can while tapering). Had a lot of stress and basically crashed and burned.  I have vertigo and nausea.  Anyone else experience this and how do you handle it? 

Many thanks

No one gets these sxs. Can someone help?

Nausea and vertigo are both extremely common withdrawal symptoms.  When I was tapering, I was extremely nauseated and barely able to keep food down for several weeks.  I used the prescription medication zofran, which is an anti-nausea med.  When I got hit with vertigo, I used meclizine (found in some of the over the counter dramamine/motion sickness meds, but also available with a prescription).  Sometimes the nausea was directly related to the vertigo, and in this case, the motion sickness med cleared up both issues without me needing zofran.

 

Also, if you are in a legal marijuana state, if your nausea is severe, medical marijuana works wonders!  I had days where the nausea was so severe that even the highest doses of zofran wouldn't touch it.  In these cases, I used marijuana to avoid having to go to a hospital for dehydration (I couldn't keep food or fluids down for a a few weeks, which started about 3 months after finishing my taper).  I hope I didn't insult you with this suggestion, I understand it is not for everyone.  But just an FYI, if you do use it, you don't need as much as you would as someone trying to get "high", a very small dose works wonders.  However, it can cause dizziness in some people.

I don't have vertigo but have nausea probably 80 percent of the time. I live on Dramamine during the day; remeron at night.

I get both. As a matter of fact just coming out of about a four day stretch of it. I get it for about that many days every time I do a cut which is every 2 weeks. Sometimes at the beginning of the cut sometimes at the end. So annoying! I try ginger ale and peppermint candy helps me. You are definitely not alone.
