I HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF ACID RECENTLY, AND MY DOCTOR HAS PRESCRIBED LANSOPRAZOLE 30MG, THIS IS FINE BUT MY 4PM IN THE AFTERNOON I FEEL THE NEED TO BE SICK, AND HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING UNTIL I TAKE MY EVENING DRUGS AND MST AT 10.30PM. I WAS TAKING THE TAB AT 4PM, WHICH SEEMED FINE, BUT THEN I WAS SICK IN THE MORNING. SO NOW I TAKE IT IN THE MORNING AS SUGGESTED BY MY GP. I’M STILL MENOPAUSLE AND AM 55 YRS OLD. POPLARLADY
Hi Poplarlady
Like you I get a lot of acid and can feel the need to be sick. Indeed am actually sick sometimes.
My doctor has put me on lansoprazole as well - he recommends me taking one tablet in the morning but then if things aren’t going so well in the afternoon, I take another tablet. Don’t do this every day - seems to happen several days on the trot and then be better for a while. ANyway it might be worth you talking to your doctor and seeing whether he would be happy to up your dosage as well.
Good luck Kay
Hi
I have had a lot of sickness and nausea last few months, fortunately getting better now I have re-started on Xeloda chemo. I tried various medication and found best was low dose Levomepromazine 6mg (Nozinan) once a day (it makes some people a bit sleepy and so they take it late evening, but I am fine with it an hour before evening meal) then supplement with Cyclizine up to 3 times a day.

Hi,
I don’t feel as sick etc as you get - it must be horrid on top of everything else - but I do get heartburn & acid which I never had before any of this. I take slippery elm tablets from the health food shop (checked with docs etc first) & chew one when needed. Needed 2 or 3 in the middle of last night as the feeling actually woke me (makes a change from the hot sweats waking me!). I have also heard ginger and peppermint are good but I’ve only had mints & they seem to work.
These may not be strong enough for you but just thought I would post anyway.
Hope it gets better v soon.
Hi, I don’t know what treatment you are currently having but I am on FEC and find myself feeling sick a lot of the time for 5 days post FEC - I drink gallons of ginger beer and it really helps me with the sick feeling (the anti-emetics stop me feeling worse but the ginger beer takes that “I want to be sick” feeling away).
