Comment:
I'm sick to my stomach everyday from anxiety. This med was amazing!! Till my Dr took it away after 8 years saying it's all the sudden dangerous for long term?? Gave me zofran instead and it's no where near as good. I'm a sad girl about it..

Comment:
I'm constantly nauseous & it has done wonders. Although if you take it & are extremely sensitive to any medication, I suggest you lay down because you will get tired; helps with my insomnia as well.

Comment:
I have experienced severe migraine headaches with nausea and vomiting. This medication helped me so much when it was prescribed for what I thought was a virus but was actually a severe migraine. I was so glad that it helped me right away. It was paired with a pain medication to ease both the pain and the nausea right away.
