Nausea on waking is it depression

That mkes me more confident its not just me,  i dont go out to eat nowadays.

do you take anything to settle your tummy earlier in day? Are you taking an anti dep now?

Yes I'm on antidepressant. I have ginger tea with lemon and honey then suck a aniseed twist boiled sweet . I do a lot of gagging and heaving but it settles down .

Are yu ble to say which a/d you take, i am having such trouble

Oh i got ginger & lemon tea sandy & it gave me sooo much heartburn & acid. Yet ginger biscuits help me.. strange eh xxx

Ginger tea and mint tea give me  heartburn, it makes life very difficult.  I think i might try gaviscon. Any other hints acceptable please

Boiled water xx & gaviscon are both good to try xx

Hi Sandy, I am going through my 3rd episode of depression. I also can eat only in the evenings because this is when I feel a bit better. If I think of eating food in the morning it feels like I will vomit.

I also have a lot of acidity with heart burn and stomach problems. From my past episodes I have learnt  - when my depression goes - so does the acidity and other symptoms of depression. It is so with anxiety. It is the brain and gut connection. I remember when I was young in school and had to sit for exams I would visit the washroom atleast 6 times in a day. Wishing you the best. You will survive.

Keep in touch.

Same here shiraz xx

I wish the best for all the depressed people on this site. Only the depressed know what suffering they go through. It is so difficult to explain the feeling we go through to a person who has not gone through it.

As I have mentioned before - they have reached the moon but have not found a fit solution for depression.

Keep in touch.

 

Ohh that is such a fitting post.. so true... i hope all the best and a cure for all going thru this awful illness xx bless you ♡ xxxx

Oh yes, i am having just the same problems with stomach issues especially when i wake.  Cant face food, or smell,of food rill evening and even theen its not great.  I have been trying to deal with it using gaviscon but still fet the runs if i eat plain bread or dry viscuits.  Dr has fiven me ranitidine tomtry out vut i dont know how it will do.  Its ruining my life not knowing when i will need to be near washrooms.  Anxiety is the problem they tell me and i am now getting depressed about it. I cannot tolerat ssris so where do i go mext?

I think you have to have an appointment with a GI doctor. What antidepressant are you on?

Thank. Keep in touch.

There is more a g.i.specialist can suggest like shiraz said ann. Ive had cameras n things to check oesophagus etc & have been given various tabs & diets over 20 yrs. Like shiraz said it gets easier once the anxiety settles providing there isnt unknown food intolerances etc they may help u more tham say yr gp/dr. Bless ya xx

Having a flare up of nausea just now, just cant get rid of it. They still say anxiety. I am going to try to cut down diazepam slowly, maybe it will help

Are yoy alright?  I am still having the daily nausea on waking and they still say anxiety, any help for you

Hi Ann

I've recovered from my anxiety and my nausea has stopped. If everything has been cleared medically. It's the anxiety.

Hi Ann. Have had a setback unfortunately due to 2nd s.s.r.i not working I'm now due to start new ones Tues its just hard to keep going thru the medication rollercoaster... nausea not bad but have horrendous anxiety which is causing bad indigestion and heartburn. How are you? X

Sorry, long time since spoke.

still got morning nausea . GP still says anxiety based.  Still a bit of ibs since gallbladder taken out.

psych is taking me off mirtazapine as he says i have anxiety. He has tried so many meds on me and i think has given up.  I feel yuk a lot of the time, living on only diazepam to keep anxiety down.  GP says may try zantac for nausea but i see side effect is depression,

where are you at now and any answers?

hi ann sorry to hear yr still having trouble. My gastro troubles are awful due to worsening anx and dep. My dose of a new anti dep was upped so im guessing its that??? I hope so. Zantac never caused any adverse effects on me hun can only spk from personal point of view. Hope u feel better soon hun xx

Sorry to hear you have been having troubles too.  Whats new anti dep?  Are you still trying zantac i might ask GP for it to see if it settles tummy.  Some say try Caltrate, others use prilosec.  I need some ideas and to get rid of this anxiety, dr thinks its causing stomach problems.

Yes ann new anti dep is venlafaxine. And ive been on zantac (ranitidine 300mg ) 1tab at night with my lansoporazole and found it worked but now my anx is worse it has produced more stomach acid and nothings helping. But it did work well initially ann if yr wantng to try it. Yr dr may be right there is an link with anxiety and worsening of gastric symptoms x

Yes i will ask for zantac to see if it helps.  I almost feel that when i swallow i can feel sort of acid down my middlegullet, then it permeates through to the back.

Yes v similar to me. Xx
