Brief Answer:
I will suggest you stop this drug all together and use fluoxetine!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this nausea. True there are many other antidepressants that will not cause a similar side effect. In this light, I will suggest that you go ahead and stop the drug. Replace with Fluoxetine. This drug is only available on prescription and as such I will suggest that discuss this with your doctor as well so as to be able to get his approval and get he drug prescribed.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
