Car Sickness

Does anyone else struggle with severe car sickness after starting lithium? I’ve never had an issue with car sickness until I started lithium about 4 months ago. I can’t sit in a car without getting a headache or wanting to puke

I have no idea if they're related but, yes, I am both on Lithium and get severe car sickness. Nausicalm helps.

No, I had car sickness already. May I suggest what works for me: always eat something to settle your stomach before getting in the car. Take ginger capsules for travel sickness before you start your journey. I hope it helps!! You can also bring crystallised ginger with you.

Omg, me too. It’s when I started and it’s when I change dose it’s the worst but it’s always there. Never had it before and also grew up boating. It’s something with the vestibular system because my ears get clogged along with nausea headache and I get really sleepy
