Now, with what you are describing your nausea seems to be caused by your headache so I'm not sure that peppermint would help you. I've taken Phenergan for nausea before but it tended to make me drowsy, too.

Have you tried the OTC meds like Emitrol? It's a syrup but it really helps. I can't remember if it makes you sleepy because I took it years (and I mean YEARS) ago for a hangover!!

Maybe your doctor or pharmacist can suggest something. Hope you feel better soon.

Good one Kelly....I used this in the past too (peppermint)...like at Disney Land

Julie, the pharm drugs I've taken all make me sleepy....down right knocked out. I don't blame you for wanting to avoid them....come to think of it....a good hot tub helps me too....but if you over heat that may not be a good idea....
