Psychiatric meds and increased risk of vomiting.

[Mm80]

Just my own theory/observation, but maybe it could be something that has been overlooked.
Many anti enemics particularly meto, block dopamine/serotonin in some way to prevent vomiting.
Many psychiatric drugs ie anti depresssans,may directly or indirectly increase brain dopamine/serotonin levels. Surely that would make one more susceptible to vomiting?
I can remember my gag reflex being really strong when just brushing my teeth or breathing in sharply, when ive been on antidepressants.and a common side effect can be nausea.
Does anyone else think that this could be a factor ? Im not advising anyone to stop taking anti depressants, but i will seriously consider tapering down when/if my time comes.
Thoughts?

Depends which ones you taking. Mine have zero side effects.

What are you taking ?

Logically it'd make sense they'd want you to throw up easily if taking them due to heightened rate of suicidal thoughts & tendencies if you're prescribed them in the first place to counter overdose attempts. Design or coincidence?

you've put up a really good point. This thread and your comment I had to look up my meds. It appears the duloxetine can make you nauseous. I guess I will have to wean myself off it and have it out of my system before I do my SN.

Thanks i just think it may have been overlooked. An snri might Well raise serotonin and dopamine in to brain, the opposite to what drugs like meto are trying to do
