Last night I took my trazodone before bed as usual but I think I didn't eat enough or something because I woke up two hours later with insanely bad nausea and diarrhea. The diarrhea is gone but I'm so queasy that when I'm in bed and I move-my stomach feels super uneasy. Does anyone know of something that'll help or how long this'll last? I know that some over the counter drugs interfere with trazodone and Zoloft so I didn't want to take anything before asking for recommendations.
Does anyone know a remedy for severe upset stomach caused by trazodone?

It did the same to me when i 1st started it. After about a week or two those bad symptoms went away. Make sure u eat and keep food in you and it helps the nausea. It gets better u just have to wait it out.

Excellent suggestion. I had nausea from my Effexor. Then I learned to keep just a little food in my stomach or just a few sips of milk which would always calm down my stomach. Now I always take it with food and never have a problem with it. Now don't need to keep food in me.

I think that Kaismama's 4th comment and Smileyha's answer are on the mark. It sounds more like you have an illness. I've been taking Trazodone for more than 15 years. When I don't eat anything before taking it, it just intensifies the sleep affect of the Trazodone. What I really take it for is it greatly helps my fibromyalgia.

Hi Mmk,
It is not the Trazodone! If you have a fever you are sick. Get some rest and take care,

Did you just start the trazodone? I find the best thing for nausea is sipping on schweppes ginger ale, and nibbling on saltines helps quite a bit. There is also an OTC called emetrol that helps. Its just peppermint and won't interact with other meds.

I agree ~ ginger ale, saltines, and Emetrol ~ that always works for me. Emetrol won't interact with your meds, but if you decide to take it don't take it right after drinking a lot of fluids and don't drink for an hour or so after.
Peppermint herbal tea also helps me a lot.

I also had this same problem! One night my stomach felt like it had a fire in it!
I thought I had to go to the E.R. and have my stomach pumped it was so painful and I was so sick!
Then my sister told me to take 3 teaspoons of Vinegar (white distilled) is what I had. 10 mins. later the burning and sickness was gone. Bathroom trips were over also!! I did NOT believe her at first. But it worked!!!

No I started it a few months ago. I think the upset stomach was caused by me not eating enough before I took it.

Trazodone doesn't usually cause severe nausea. I'm wondering if you had a bug or something.
