Are there any anxiety meds that don’t cause horrible nausea?
In an effort not to make this too long-winded, I’m 23F who has recently discovered some pretty scary physical anxiety symptoms that I can’t seem to shake, especially racing heart/heart palpitations. My doc prescribed me a benzo to take “as needed” for a month, but I’m trying not to rely on it because she also told me it can be very addicting. Doc also prescribed lexapro, which made me nauseous and unable to eat for days, and then cymbalta, which I haven’t tried yet but everyone says made them nauseous too. I’m very small and cannot afford to lose weight trying a bunch of meds and getting sick for days at a time. Please can anyone advise if there is a medication that does not have this horrible side effect? Also words of comfort or support are very much welcome. Feeling a bit hopeless rn.
Edit: thank you everyone for your responses! I’m sorry I can’t answer every single one. I am now working with a cognitive behavioral therapist to try some mental and physical techniques to help with my anxiety since my first experience with medication went so poorly. But I know I can try a medication again if/when I need it. I so truly appreciate all the advice in this thread, and I hope everyone else going through this is able to find the support and help they need ❤️
