Thanks for reaching out.
Side-effects like nausea and gastric irritation are usually self limiting and transient in the beginning of the treatment. Medication is tailored according to individual requirements with as best a response as possible with no distressing effects.
After a recovery has been established from the medication which usually happens within the first few weeks, medicines will have to be continued for a certain period of time (usually few months to an year or two).
By completing the entire said duration of course, the chances of reoccurring symptoms will be significantly lower and often patients go symptom free for a long long time. Even if they do occur, they will be much more manageable. The quality of life would be drastically increased having gotten treated at the earliest.
Hope this clarified your concerns.
All the best.
