Chronic nausea, please help!
Hello all,
I am a 19 year old male who has been suffering with chronic nausea and early satiety for the past 3 months. I have lost around 25 pounds and feel nauseous at all hours of the day (worse around meal times), though i've had no trouble sleeping in that same time span. No pain whatsoever either, just constant, debilitating nausea.
Meds I've tried so far:
- Zofran 4 mg, as needed. April 22nd - April 27th. Did not work.
- MiraLAX, once daily. April 22nd - Present. Seems to have cleared up constipation.
- Metoclopramide 10 mg, 4x daily. April 27th - May 19th. Did not work.
- Promethazine 12.5 mg, every 6 hours. May 19th - June 8th. Worked briefly, then stopped working.
- Omeprazole 40 mg, once daily, then twice daily, then back to once daily. May 19th - Present. Have seen no improvement with it.
- Amitriptyline 10 mg. June 25th - Present.
- Lorazepam 1 mg. June 25th - Present.
A few questions too. How long should i stay on amitriptyline before determining it does or doesn't work? I've seen no improvement in a week of taking it thus far. Should I push for 25 mg, even if 10 mg feels like nothing has changed? Should I instead push for Mirtizapine?
Anyone who has found relief from chronic nausea, I'd greatly appreciate the help, as this has been truly unbearable. Thank you!
