Hi Teri, I'm so happy to hear that I gave you some hope! Where would we be with no hope?? I'm also glad you're willing to give a new med some time to see if it helps you, if not, if you continue to feel nauseated, tell your doctor, and you can try something else... The only med that I can think of right now, that isn't a narcotic is Neurontin. It actually is an anti-seizure medication, but I've heard people say it helped them alot. I tried it, but it didn't do much for me...everyone is different..ask your doctor see what he thinks...and hang in there!!! It's all by trial and error! Good luck, and please let us know what happens! Lisa
