I don't know from experience though since I don't get nausea.
There was a show on Discovery channel where they used it and it worked as good as prescript meds for nausea for them.

My friend who suffers from nausea uses supository phenergan. She says it is a lifesaver.
Sorry to hear you are feeling bad.

heiwalove, a couple of homeopathic remedies come to mind, but what you may want to try first....
As others have suggested, make sure you have plenty of food with your meds (unless otherwise prescribed). Perhaps this alone will alleviate the problem.
If not, my homeopath always told me that if I know what it is that is causing me distress, then THAT is the remedy!
In the above article in indicates that this will only eliminate the negative effects of a medication, it won't stop it from working: ``.....if you want to antidote the side effects of a medicine you're on, like Penicillin , for example....''
(This sure worked for me when I had to antidote increased heart palpitations from taking Cumanda, which had persisted even after I quit taking the doggone Cumanda! I think it only took 3 doses of a remedy made from the Cumanda and my heart was back to normal.)
So, that would be my first choice. (Besides that, it costs nothing.)
Here are a couple of standard remedies for nausea/ vomiting, but if it were me, I would not use any standard remedy long term without consulting with a homeopath.
Arsenicum-album 30C - a remedy often used for ailments from various antibiotics
Ipecac (Ipecacuanha) 30C - a traditional remedy to alleviate nausea and vomiting from various sources, including strong medications. (Note that in homeopathic form, Ipecac relieves nausea and vomiting; in allopathic form or used full-strength, it induces vomiting. A perfect example of homeopathic principles at work.)

it depends on the source of the nausea
from gastroparesis - reglean and if necessary eating easy to digest foods
From meds or something simular (not gastroparesis or associated for dizziness)- a big chunk of ginger brewed in a cup of tea
or changing the time i take the med (i have a history of my stomach being more senstive during certain hours... i have no idea why though)
Nausea associated with lightheadness - moving around as little as possible cuz i seem to get motion sickness from walking around sometimes...
nothing else seems to help it... so i am kinda still working on how to help that one.
Hope you find something that aleviates your nausea soon.

One benadryl (over the counter antihistamine) stops nausea or throwing up quickly. But it can make one feel tired and sleepy.

Gluten-free diet. For me, that essential. Corn gets me, too.
Slippery Elm is a miracle. Shake a tsp. of the powder in 4 oz. cool water, then mix with hot water and a drop of stevia for a tea. If you can "do" honey, a touch of honey may be added and also may help relieve a cough. Really coats the tummy.
If I have the flu and no desire to eat, I've been known to mix up a few tablespoons (shake first in cool water) and then add hot water to make a gruel. It can be a meal if you can't eat anything else. Drink lots of water to be sure it moves on through.
Someone mentioned ginger above. I add some ginger powder to the glass shaker before adding hot water. You can also steep a piece of ginger root and use for tea throughout the day. Too much, though, may be stimulating for some folks.
I get mine here. You can buy a capsules in other places. One pkg lasts a long time. Notice difference between cut & sifted and powder. Call them if you have questions. Organic available, too.
If you get powder, when you open - don't shake it and be careful to not breathe in as you measure it out as it's a fine powder.
You can View their Organic and Kosher certificates. They do not use irradiation to sterilize products due to concerns for quality and safety.
Finally, Coptis/Evodia Tablets are made-up primarily of herbs containing berberine and related ... Coptis/Evodia Tablets should be avoided during pregnancy. ...

My LLMD told me to get chewable deglycyrrizinated licorice, and chew a couple of them. Saliva mixes with it, and it coats the esophagus and stomache with a protective layer.
It seems to help with nausea a little, but mainly I'm concerned about my esphogus. Before I knew I was gluten intolerant, I had acid reflux and it's been damaged.

Geneal - Ohhhh, YES - A cold (I mean cold) damp washcloth or towel on the back of the neck . . . that can stop it quickly.
Every time I fly I get ready with an ice pack for the motion/ tummy dance.
And Daisys - I agree that DGL is wonderful for mouth, esophogus and GI.
I had forgotten about that. Works like a charm on both symptoms and cause.
