Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Non-SSRI's: Ssri antidepressants (prozac, zoloft, celexa, paxil, etc) and Effexor (venlafaxine) all can commonly cause nausea/vomiting. Others, like wellbutrin and tricyclics, are much less likely to do that.

A member asked:

I've had food poisoning since Sunday and haven't been able to eat since then. Because of that, I haven't taken my antidepressants in three days. I'm on a high dose, so I'm at risk of a relapse but I can't take them until I stop vomiting. What do?

Need an antidepressant that will help with constant nausea, lack of appetite & mild anxiety. Heard celexa and Lexapro (escitalopram) make you nauseated. ?
