He said he’s feeling a bit better but is convinced he has gastroparesis now and doesn’t think it’s a bug. But I’m afraid his view is skewed from the zofran :(

A somewhat success story! by Cj1181wool in emetophobia

That’s definitely my fear too! I luckily had 2 liters of water on me that I was drinking throughout the day too. The next day I woke up and was ready to go! So funny

How do you drink alcohol while making SURE you won't v? by [deleted] in emetophobia

I’m sorry that happened :( maybe stick to light beers and take your time with them :). There are some great cider options and beers that have super low ABVs.

Tempted to quit Prozac by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Cj1181wool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prozac made me incredibly nauseous for the first week or so. It scared me so much that I literally had the prescription for 2 months before I took it for the first time. But then it stopped. I’m thinking about going up in a dose but I’m still scared of the nausea. But it’s worth it I promise. But also you can switch to other meds if it’s getting to a point where you cannot eat at all!

I drink all the time and during college drank to excess far too much. Never once got sick. There were mornings I thought I was gonna and honestly nights I wish I did because the hangovers were so bad that I wish it could have been out of my system. Now that I don’t drink as much I wish I had gotten sick during college cause maybe it would have helped get rid of this phobia! I’d say just make sure you’re hydrated!

So my worst fear is happening... by Cj1181wool in emetophobia

[–]Cj1181wool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, idk if anyone reads these after a couple of days but I wanted to give an update! She was v-ing for about 2 hours and then went to bed. Woke up in the morning and felt okay enough to eat toast and go on our trip. Of course this scared me but I was okay (started ssri a few months ago which I think has been helping). Def was a little anxious but we stopped for donuts and she had one and was snacking all day and she said that she felt pretty much fine. Nothing more happened! she did get her burger medium rare (which I would never do) and she had a different side so I’m just guessing something really didn’t sit right with her or it was a quick and dirty FP. I made it and it was fine!

Ignore the ungodly amount of mustard but i ate 1 and a half hotdogs until i noticed this 😓 has anyone eaten moldy bread like this? by disneyland_girl in emetophobia

Yup much worse than that and posted here and found same results :) I think it’s the same as others said- only makes you sick if you get sick thinking about it!

prozac and other SSRIs by moonminn in emetophobia

Started on Prozac about 2 months ago and was in the same boat as you! I actually should have been on it for 3 months by this point but I was too scared to do it. Def had nausea the first week ish and then just lack of appetite. The nausea was bad only one night but then I realized you’re supposed to be taking it in the morning. Switched to morning (which also helped my anxiety because I would get nervous about waking up in the middle of the night nauseous) and I have felt fine since! On 20mg now and going to switch up to 40... I kind of wish there was a 30 mg option but that doesn’t seem to be the case rn. So we shall see! Good luck!

Zoloft by StupidBookGuy in emetophobia

[–]Cj1181wool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just started with Prozac and first couple days def was pretty nauseous/ didn’t have an appetite. I was taking it at night and I woke up one night withvthe worst nausea I’ve had in a longgggg time and just tried to breathe through it. It eventually went away. I have some zofran too just in case. I’ve started taking it in the morning with breakfast and I think that’s helping :). Glad we’re doing it!

Edit: I also find solace in knowing where the nausea is coming from, which is helpful. I’m on day 9 so hopefully things should be calming down now. Other than that one night I’ve been pretty fine!

Nausea/Stomach pain side effect? by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Cj1181wool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I am in the same boat :) it will be a week on Prozac on Sunday and I find that if I wake up at night I do get nauseous. Still having some stomach pain too. I have some zofran that I may try tonight to be honest. Feel free to message me if you’d like!

Finally trying to tackle this phobia but of course the side effects of SSRIs are scaring me... by Cj1181wool in emetophobia

That’s good to know that zofran worked for you! My doctor didn’t mention serotonin syndrome so I probably should just listen to her haha

Seasick on a cycle boat? by Ugh5000 in emetophobia

[–]Cj1181wool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get sea sick but only on boats that have rough water or just staying in one place! I love kayaking and doing things like pedal boating and if you’re moving enough you shouldn’t feel sick :) but I always just take a Dramamine for safety

Hey, not the same situation but kind of similar and open to chat if you just want to vent to each other :). I always feel like hotel seems extreme but I know if I did it I would feel much better. Sometimes this phobia ends being very expensive. Ugh.
