Default Medication and Nausea

Hi, I wonder if anyone has any ideas on what to do for the nausea I have been experiencing. (I may have spelled that wrong!) Well, I was on Elavil and Neurontin and had to go off both because of the side effects, so we decided to try Topamax. So far it`s okay, pain is back some but the biggest problem is the nausea. When I eat I really get it. The thought of Pepto Bismol makes me want to puke! Why add to the situation? Besides, could someone tell them to please change that color! Geez, it is blinding! Anyway, anybody got any ideas for some good old natural "home" remedies? I hate to go off this medication because when I was on the other two I was getting pretty, well how should I say this? large? I am only 5' 2" so I can`t carry too much weight. Since taking the Topamax I have lost some weight. (Probably because eating makes me sick afterwards so I don`t eat much.) But I really don`t think that is it. From what I have read EVERYBODY gains weight on Neurontin. Usually Lots and I know why! When I was on it I ate a cake, a WHOLE two layered cake, by myself in two days! Oh boy, here I go again, babbling!On the computer no less, which I have a habit of doing after I take my medications. SORRY! Can anybody please help me? (not with the babbling) there is NO cure for that! but the nausea would surely be appreciated.
Thank you so much and I want you to know I care about all of you!
I hope I can be of help to you sometime.
