Hello,
You can use Meclisine for nausea and can even find it over the counter in a pharmacy.
Remember to reduce the opioids dosage gradually in order to have less side effects.
Longer the usage time, longer is the time need for you to get off it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
