Medications to help with emetophobia

[kasia]

Hi everyone,

No doubt this has been posted before, but I cannot find it...

I'm looking for the best ways of coping with this phobia, which is really ruining my life. I've been prescribed Lexapro, but haven't started taking it because of my fear of the side-effects! I sometimes take travel pills (diphenhydramine) and Diazepam and have Phenergan but haven't taken it yet.

Can anyone recommend any medications to stop n* and v*?


Many thanks in advance!

I have been taking Phenergan for n* and v* for about a year, my doc gave me a prescription for it. I use it mostly when I have a panic attack...it puts me to sleep and calms the nervous stomach. But there have been a couple times that I have taken it when I had a sv and still v*. I guess my body really needed to v*, I don't know.

Zofran does a good job of calming the stomach and does not seem to have any side effects.
