Depression and Physical illness?


Question:
I suffer from depression and lately I have been getting physically ill ( vomiting). I am supposed to take my medication 2 twice a day. How can I make sure I get medication when I have been sick for the past 2 weeks. I have not been able to keep anything down for more than 4-5 hours.

Answers:
The 4-5 hours are probably long enough for the medicine to clear your stomach. I do think you need to get something for the nausea though. Do you think the vomiting is part of the depression? Depression can make you physically ill. The medicine could be making you ill also. I know it doesn't seem like it since it is 4-5 hours before you get sick, but it could be the medication. Look up the side effects and see if nausea is one of them.
Call the doctor that gave you the meds and state your problem.

good luck
Tell your Doctor that you cannot keep anything down, he might give you something for your stomach to settle. If you are not taking your depression medication, that can make you ill also, because it works with your mind. So go to the Doctor, or call him to prescribe something for you. OK?
