Nauseated after taking escitalopram 10mg

My doctor recently prescribed me escitalopram 10mg once at night for my anxiety issues. The problem is that after taking it, i feel more nauseous and have a heavy feel on chest which feels like vomit. He has also prescribed clonazepam 0.5 once at night which makes me relax but doesn't solve this nausea problem. I tried taking ondem, and it somewhat helped me but later get to know that it has interactions with escitalopram. My question is that is it safe to take ondem for nausea while i am on escitalopram, though i know this thing is temporary and the symptoms will resolve as the body starts absorbing escitalopram, but for now it is really hard. Please help.

Re - Anxiety Issues

I have anxiety issues from past 7-8 years. I don't have sleeping problem but face gastro symptoms such as diarrhoea, Nausea ( that sometimes result to vomiting ), heavy feel on chest after eating. Everytime my doctor usually prescribes escitalopram 10mg OD. And always within few weeks i start feeling normal, no more digestive issues, like some kind of super power. The problem is that the treatment usually goes for 9-12 months. And once completed and i stop medications( as suggested by doctor ). After few months, 6 or 8 months lets say, it starts again. My doctor again prescribes the same medication. And the cycle goes on. The problem is that over years, the medicine has become less effective. Now my doctor suggests yoga, meditation and lifestyle changes. I tried that too, but when things goes wrong, nothing works. Why to stop these medicines, why can't they be continued for several years i.e, 5-10 years untill i get stable in my life. Right now i am a job person.

Medicine Effectiveness

I have been prescribed XET CR 12.5 And Cecon 0.25 once per night for anxiety and depression. I have been taking it for now 10 days. However, my morning sinking feeling of depression still persists. And on days my eyes feel heavy. How do I know if the medicines are working or not ? My depression is more severe in the mornings when I wake up and evenings feel better.
