Hi everyone .Just joined and im hoping to start monjaro soon however I have emetaphobia fear of nausea / vomiting so going on this weight loss journey is going to be real scary .im 67 years young and im trying to get some anti sickness medication from gp but because I am on prozac apparently I cant take anti sickness meds .is their anyone on here that is pretty much same as myself .
I don’t have a fear of vomiting, but I did have some nausea last year which I got cyclizine from my GP for.
Go slowly up the doses. I spent 9 weeks on 2.5mg, stayed on 5mg for a month then starting having bad side effects, so went back down to 2.5mg for a while, then this time I slowly worked my way up. Took 3.75mg for a couple weeks, then 4mg, then 5mg. Any week that I feel a bit of nausea, I take a little bit less the next week (by counting the clicks). As a result I haven’t have vomiting in a long time.
Plenty of water, electrolytes, and peppermint capsules. Even before mounjaro, if I had a bad stomach I would drink peppermint tea and suck on polo mints. With mounjaro the peppermint capsules definitely help mild nausea/bloating. Plus if you get sulphur burps, at least they taste like mint

Hi .thanks for your reply ..did the cyclizine work for you ?
Yeah it’s been great, I think there was only once or twice it didn’t work. But as time went on I’ve needed it less and less (on mounjaro since Feb 2025)
I have cyclizine on hand just incase .im waiting for monjaro to arive my first shot will be this week hopefully..can I ask what dose you are on ? X
I’m currently using 7.5mg to administrator 5.67mg (45 clicks). As I feel I need a bit more than 5mg, but going up slowly. I only started buying 7.5mg at the start of this year, was on 5mg since May/June.
Good luck on your journey, I hope it works well and the side effects are minimal . Mounjaro has been the best thing I’ve done for my health.
