Hi
I called my pharmacist yesterday with this exact same question. He recommended Bonine (aka Meclizine Hydrochloride) and sure enough it worked like a charm for the nausea and dizziness I've been experiencing from taking hydrocodone. It's been so bad this week that it was messing with my sleep but it is completely gone now!
You should check with your dr or pharmacist to make sure it won't interact with the meds you are taking. I took a double dose of the Bonine on recommendation from the pharmacist, as he said that would be equivalent to a prescription dose.
You should be able to find it inexpensively OTC and most drugstores have store-brand which makes it even less expensive.Last edited by Briza; 01-16-2011, 11:10 AM.

Dramaline works real good and you can get it at the dollar general store cheap.

I suggest you call your doctor tomorrow and ask if they can prescribe something. I take phenergan 25 mg tablets any time I need pain meds.

I too am having nausea after pain meds (but they are helping) my Dr. said it should go away after about a week, but if you can try baking soda it will also have the added benefit of removing acid, just don't use it too much. Fell better soon.Comment

That's true. Many times the intial side effects of pain meds will go away with continued use. So I was caught off guard when mine made me dizzy after taking it almost daily for several months. It turned out I had a sinus infection brewing that I wasn't aware of at the time. I think that may have been contributing to my nausea and dizzieness this month.Comment
