over the counter nausea meds?

I prefer natural and homeopathic remedies, but these have been insufficient for migraine nausea/vomiting/vertigo.

Recommendations?

I have an upcoming appointment with my dr and will be requesting a prescription antiemetic, but want to stock something in my first aid kit in the mean time. I got two different travel sickness meds (dramamine and a generic) that have different active ingredients.

Was wondering what folks here have tried and if any success. Thanks

      HI glassmind,

      Ginger has helped me with nausea, I've used Gin-Gin's, a chewy ginger candy.

      This article by Amanda has wonderful information on this; https://migraine.com/living-migraine/facing-nausea/.

      Let me know how your appointment goes.
      Nancy

        I have tried ginger, peppermint, papaya, and immodium. None of these are sufficient for nausea and vomiting I get with a migraine.

        I do find them effective for seasickness or digestive upset from foods. Just not for migraine nausea, vomitting and bowel distress.
