Thanks for reaching out. Nausea may be a side effect but unusual. However, the symptoms can be relieved by adjusting the medication. Do not discontinue the medication at the moment. You must have achieved recovery from your anxiety recently. In order to prevent future episodes, it's mandatory that you take the medication for at least a period of 3 to 6 months. Please do not self medicate or alter without professional advice. All the best. Dr. Pavani Narukurthi MD Psychiatry MindfulTMS Neurocare Gk2 delhi
