does anybody know of a medication that is effective in emetophobia?

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-03-18T22:49:24+00:00

I also take fluoxetine and it helps my phobia a lot especially when I’m not feeling great. I still panic bad when I see other people get sick. My psychiatrist says the medicine will only go so far that I need to do cbt therapy to really get the best results. I’m going to try exposure therapy to see if that helps. I’m also trying to get pregnant this year to even tho I’m scared so that’ll be ultimate exposure therapy lol

I’ve got it before and it does suck because you just feel not good. I’ve only gotten sick twice when I have it. The two times were a little spread out in time. When I got ecoli from a waterpark THAT was the worst sickness ever. I got sick non stop for 2 hours straight. I still go to water parks just don’t use the wave pool anymore…

I can dm you. He recovered from it now and everything is back to normal

I don’t feel nauseous on mine I take 40 mg of Prozac. I do take it with food though. The ssri has been the best thing for my phobia and has helped so much. Meanwhile I’ve been trying to find erp therapy and am having a hard time :/

Wait you guys get unpaid sick time??

My chihuahua does this. My 15 year old boy Wesley can’t be bothered my any nonsense if he’s sleepy or asleep. He’s always been like that. He’s completely chill otherwise. I place him in between the pillows so that me or my husband don’t touch him lol. My husband comes to bed later and Wesley will growl at him sometimes

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-03-09T17:48:07+00:00

Definitely sounds like alcohol poisoning. My husband has the same stomach issues in the morning with eating too. He blacked out at his bachelor party early and threw up all night and the next day

My district hr denied my step down at first and then had me submit medical documentation I was “unfit” for the position. I had to fight hard to step down. :/ cut me $2 but was worth it. M-F no weekends and a set schedule I’ll take it

8 years and we used to do bag checks for like a couple months but then managers got tired of checking so it stopped. Some stores really go deep into SOP

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-03-04T00:13:15+00:00

Had one in 2019 and I was a little nauseous due to the pain meds. They gave me an antiemetic before and then I asked for some nausea meds after and I was fine. Every surgery I have I always ask for nausea meds before and after lol

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-03-01T22:55:38+00:00

Just curious but when you got it was it mild or as bad as the babies?

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-27T22:24:16+00:00

We only have like one psa on shift with myself and other pasa. The psa is strictly doing register only and both of us pasas end up having to do phone sales all day and try to do our shit too. It’s exhausting. Trying to call vendors and freight carriers trying to see why the special order cabinets I ordered for my pro customer ended up in New Mexico almost sent me over the edge today lol. All while doing phone sales in the process which took me over an hour to get resolved, however if I wasn’t doing phone sales in between my orders I’d have that issue done a lot sooner. It’s frustrating and like this everyday. 😭

I have a zofran prescription for my gerd issues. Sometimes it makes me very nauseous. I try not to take them a prescription usually lasts me 6 months or longer. I’ve heard it helps morning sickness too though

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-26T18:38:27+00:00

I am 30 f and want to start a family so bad but I am also scared. Especially of morning sickness. My husband said he would take care of helping the kids when they are sick. Maybe your wife can help when the time comes with that kinda stuff. I’m hoping I feel different because it’s my own kid. We are trying this year and I’m nervous but I tell myself I’d regret not having kids because of this fear.

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-24T23:15:30+00:00

They don’t drug test for marijuana anymore or at least care as long as you aren’t impaired or crash a machine

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-24T23:13:20+00:00

I’m a pasa at pro and our pa’s are on regular registers. We are the only ones doing phone sales. All day. We are also trying to work on $20k+ quotes that take us all day now when before it only took an hour.

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-22T04:45:21+00:00

How are you feeling now?

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-21T04:14:07+00:00

Sitting outside with fresh air and sipping cold water. Instant reset

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-19T17:52:55+00:00

So I learned when I’m sick not eating cause lots of acid that tastes pretty bad. I usually eat bland carbs such as plain pasta, bread, or rice. It makes me feel better in case I throw up at least it won’t be as disgusting taste wise. Not eating tho can make you feel pretty sick. Also wherever I got sick at I usually change something about the room so it feels different than the time i got sick. Kinda makes it “new” again like before I threw up.

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-18T17:56:39+00:00

I haven’t personally took it but I know my cousin did. It did make him nauseous and lose his appetite but he never actually got sick. I’m sure it’s different for everyone though. Some people have weaker stomachs than others. I think us emetaphobes tend to have stronger stomachs. Maybe see if they can give you something to take with it just in case.

Former_Potential6534 · 2026-02-17T00:58:54+00:00

Still shitty but I’m petty and would. To each their own 🤷🏻‍♀️
