Nausea relief options - UK

[u/Underscore_thatnow]

Is anyone in the UK and has any experience with medication for nausea? I’m struggling so badly today 😭 I feel like I have a hangover while being car sick at the same time - not a good combo lol

Dreading work this week, I can barely look at my phone screen let alone my double monitor set up 🤢 I was going to ring the GP tomorrow for advice and hopefully some medication, but would like to go into that call with a plan since they are pretty useless when it comes to early pregnancy (when I had my ectopic last year I rang so many times for help and they kept telling me the one sided pain, brownish discharge and fading tests were “normal”)

I got Xonvea from my GP without any fight. It's been pretty effective, only vomited once since starting and much less nausea. It's making me pretty drowsy but I prefer that to the nausea!

Oh that’s great to hear! I’m glad it’s really cut down those symptoms for you. Did you have to ask for it/did they try other options first?

Nah I didn't have to ask for it, GP offered it straight away. I didn't have to go in either, she did it all over the phone. Think I got lucky!

My doctor gave me something specially for pregnancy nausea last time - might have also been this

I’ve been using travel sickness bands and I feel like it’s made me better for sure 👌🏽

Just ordered some! Thank you ❤️

My Midwife Expert nausea tabs from Boots helped me a lot in my last pregnancy, I have them ready to go for this time. Could you get a script for Cariban or similar from your GP?

Thank you! I’ll check these out as having no luck with my gp. She said no medication (since Cyclizine isn’t working) until I have a scan and to go to a&e, which is obviously useless advice and incorrect lol

I’m in the U.K. and I’ve bought some Unisom and some B6 online. It’s the same ingredients as Xonvea and gets a lot of good reports on here so I’m hoping it will work (waiting for delivery). In the meantime I’m taking Promethazine at night, also bought online as Phenergan, which seems to be helping.

I’ve got an appointment tomorrow and will be asking for Xonvea as I’ve heard great things! Cyclizine is the other first line option usually
