Well, I'm on day 8 and I have nausea. Haven't had Nausea in months. Thought it was behind me.

maybe the nausea is a bart herx. I get nausea and am on Rifampin. I used to get it prior to Rifampin also though

I am on day 19 of my 2nd time on Rifampin and the past 3 days I have felt a bit nauseated. Today it seems worse. I am NOT happy about this at all! I take lots of pain and aches but NOT nausea! Any suggestions?

I have two suggestions.

The first is dairy, dairy, dairy (if you tolerate it). I know we're not supposed to eat it with Mino or Doxy, or if we have yeast, but it is the best antibiotic buffer. I live on plain unsweetened yogurt. I even ate it with Mino, and I herxed just fine. But ask your doctor about that.

My other suggestion is to try a different generic brand, if there is one.

I was extremely nauseous the first time I took Placquenil. I spent three days on the couch. I assumed I was intolerant of the drug.

My doctor really wanted me on it, so I tried a different generic from a different pharmacy. I was fine.

Weird.

Thanks for your reply but I can't do this. Nausea is where I draw the line. Sounds silly

I know but I am emetophobic so anything that causes nausea has to go! [Frown]

My husband is the same way (emetophobic).

I think nausea is one of the worst symptoms to tolerate. It's not confined to your stomach. It's full-body and utterly disabling!
