CRIPPLING NAUSEA... IS MY ONLY symptom when in attack - ANYONE ELSE? PLEASE HELP!

Recommended Posts

I am SO frustrated!  I thought I was OVER this.  My last "panic/anxiety attack" prior to the one I experienced two weeks ago, was nearly SIX YEARS AGO!   I thought I was OVER this... But then it hit again earlier this month.  The nausea was so intense and horrifying, I could not walk and had to call an ambulance. (I also have Crohn's Disease... so, I was unsure if the nausea was from the Crohn's or anxiety... it turns out that anxiety was the cause.)

Is there anyone else here who ONLY gets that one symptom - devastating, debilitating nausea - when in a panic/anxiety attack?  I have done talk therapy for years... EMDR... CBT... read countless self-help books... tried many, many antidepressants.  I am currently taking Cymbalta and Klonopin (as needed - which is rarely).

In the past, I have tried... Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Paxil, and others.  I've listened to Lucinda Bassett tapes, ordered other online programs.  NOTHING IS WORKING!  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks!

Hello, Welcome to AC.

I'm sorry to hear of the trouble you're having with your anxiety.   You say you have received EMDR,  how well did this go for you?  Did you manage to reprocess any past events at all?  Do you have a good idea as to where the anxiety is coming from or is it still seemingly out of the blue?  Nausea is very common, the bubbling of acid in the stomach created by the fight or flight response can be pretty awful.
