Anxiety and drugs: That is a long time to be on a medication like Zofran. You would need to seek help with regards to anxiety which is completely preventable and can go into remission if you work on the root cause of the anxiety. Find a functional medical doctor in your area that can help.

Zofran: Used in that manner, you should not develop tolerance to Zofran. However, two years is quite a long time for nausea induced by anxiety. I don't know your previous work up, but it might be reasonable for you to see your doctor again to re-examine the cause of your nausea. Perhaps a second opinion with a different gastroenterologist might be useful also. Just a thought. Good luck.
