Might not be a good: Hi Charlene: if you are medically cleared for any GI or systemic disorders, which might cause nausea, your main problem appears to be a severe anxiety disorder with panic. Anxiety is a common and some times chronic symptom, and sometimes it might be related to an underlying depressive or generalized anxiety Dis. Treatment has to be individualized. I suggest you get a thorough evaluation.

No.: Zofran (ondansetron) is NOT a good solution for anxiety. Zofran (ondansetron) is great for nausea for most cases. However, you should consider seeing your doc regarding anti-anxiety meds.
