No.: Commonly SSRI induced nausea lasts less than 2 weeks. Talk to your doctor about a temporary reduction in dosage or, in rare cases, testing to see if you can tolerate that amount,, a genetic test called Cytochrome P450 2C19 genotype. If you are taking other medications. As well, the combination could be a possible cause of your persistent nausea. Again, check with your doctor first .
